Hello, I’m David Castro, a senior Mechanical Engineering student at Texas A&M University, graduating in May 2025. My experiences span aerodynamics, composite manufacturing, mechanical systems, and digital product development. Through roles with the Texas A&M Formula SAE Electric Racing Team and internships at Ford Motor Company and Navistar Inc., I’ve developed expertise in tools like Siemens Teamcenter, StarCCM+, SolidWorks, PowerBI, and PLEX. I enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, applying first principles, and collaborating across teams to create innovative solutions.
Feel free to explore my portfolio or reach out!
