About Me

Hi, I'm Juan Pablo Perez, an undergraduate engineering student at UBC. I've always had a deep curiosity for how things work, from circuits, sensors, and microcontrollers to designing solutions that help people. Growing up, engineering wasn't a career path I admired; it was something I practiced day to day through tinkering, building, and exploring technology.

I enjoy problem-solving, working with others, and learning by doing. Whether it's a class assignment or a side project, I like the feeling of seeing an idea move from a rough thought in my head to something I can actually build, test, and improve.

Why Engineering?

I chose engineering because it combines problem-solving, creativity, and meaningful impact. I'm especially motivated by challenges involving sustainability, environmental protection, and human-centered design. For me, engineering isn't only about technical skills. It's about creating solutions that improve lives and address global issues.

Looking Ahead

As I move through my degree, I'm excited to explore different areas of engineering and keep building my skills. I'm especially interested in hands-on projects where I can design, build, and test ideas in the real world. In the future, I hope to work on projects that help people in practical ways and contribute positively to my community.

Outside of Engineering

Outside of class, I'm a pretty creative person. I enjoy drawing and photography, and I like capturing moments, places, and ideas that feel important to me. Those creative hobbies help me slow down, pay attention to details, and see things from different angles.

I also spend a lot of my time staying active. I enjoy playing volleyball, basketball and soccer, working out, and I have a big passion for boxing. Training has taught me discipline, patience, and how to push through comfort, which is something I try to carry into my daily life and my studies as well.

I'm also someone who values spending time with the people I love. My friends and family are very important and mean a lot to me. Without them, I wouldn't be Juan Pablo Perez.
