A Bit About Me

I am a passionate in Aerodynamics and Mechanical Design Engineering. I am from Mexico, born in Durango and raised in Nuevo Leon. I graduated with a first-class honours bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering with specialization in Design and Manufacturing. During my bachelor's, I co-founded a BAJA SAE team (UANL Racing Team), where I boosted my passion for automotive and motorsports design.
I won the Mexico's Chevening Award in 2023 to pursue a fully sponsored Masters degree in the UK funded by the FCDO UK. I, then, studied a MSc. in Motorsports Engineering at Oxford Brookes University where I graduated with Distinction (First-Class Honours equivalent). I was also part of the Oxford Brookes Racing (OBR) Formula Student Team and competed in Formula Student UK 2024. I was part of the Fluid Dynamics Team with contributions also to the Vehicle Dynamics and Powertrain teams.
I am also a social media content creator @ingenioJC (hence the website name, ingenioJC) in Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube with more than 200k followers. I've had collaborations with big companies, such as Ford Performance, Valvoline, MotorsportsEngineer.net, etc.
Since my master's degree graduation I had the opportunity to work in a Formula One team, however, I couldn't take the opportunity due to the Chevening Scholarship Award obligations of coming back to my home country for 2 years at least. However, I've been working in personal projects, such as this, where I share CAD models and Aerodynamic studies for people whom didn't have the chance (like me) to learn from motorsports since young age. Everything in this site serves for education purposes and for engineering projects. I am in constant learning, thus, feel free to reach out if you have any feedback in one of my designs.
