Missouri, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCesar Lizarraga is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building production software at CIBO from Missouri and blending practical engineering with a strong statistical background. His work spans computational biology and high-throughput image and sequencing pipelines developed at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and as an independent contractor, where he combined algorithm design, statistics, and system-level tooling. At CIBO he progressed from engagement roles into senior engineering, showing aptitude for both customer-facing technical leadership and hands-on delivery. He contributes to open-source scientific tooling—adding computer vision background-subtraction and tests to the PlantCV project—demonstrating applied CV skills with OpenCV in research-grade code. Comfortable across Linux, pipelines, databases, and testing, he brings a researcher's rigor to production software and an eye for reproducible data workflows.
