Aqui donde lo ves: Meet/Ahí donde lo ves: There goes
Presenting the person: "Meet Juan, who ..."

Instead of the rather bald "Meet Juan..", you could always use something softer, such as "I'd like to introduce you to Juan...", or any of those standard expressions of introduction

Right before your eyes / behold / there you have
Hmm...see what you mean!
Maybe "right before your eyes" or "Behold" for the first one and "there you have" for the second one? (And there you have him, a very good and generous person.)

Behold Juan, who...
Here, right before your eyes, is Juan, who...
