About

I’m Cesar, a mechanical engineering student and researcher at the University of South Florida. I am currently the Chief Engineer of the USF Rocketry Team in the IREC 10K COTS category, and I led the development of an active aerodynamic system and a liquid bipropellant rocket engine. My background includes extensive experience in Design For Manufacture and Assembly, FEA, CFD, data analysis, and technical writing. I thrive on challenging projects that require creativity and collaboration, and I’m driven to find innovative ways to maximize available resources.
