I’m Cesar, an undergraduate mechanical engineering student and researcher at the University of South Florida, graduating in May 2026. As Chief Engineer of the USF Rocketry Team in the NASA Student Launch, I lead vehicle development and designed an active drag device for mid-flight trajectory adjustments.

My background includes extensive experience in CNC programming and operation, Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA), FEA, CFD, data analysis, and technical writing. I thrive on challenging projects where creativity and collaboration are essential, and I’m driven to find innovative ways to maximize available resources.
