MY PROJECTS

Ever since I was knee-high, I’ve been taking gadgets apart and plotting startups—so when I built this ultra-green ‘eco-plane,’ it zeroed out emissions by staying firmly on the ground. Who says you need to fly to be innovative?

BIOGRAPHY & ACHIEVEMENT

My path in science

I’m that kid who thinks debugging code at 2 AM is a perfectly reasonable hobby—and who firmly believes that “STEM” really stands for “Seriously Trying Every Math-related puzzle.” By day, I'm a student navigating the chaotic intersection of equations, circuitry, and robotics prototypes that have a 50/50 chance of either working flawlessly or providing unexpected pyrotechnics. (Safety goggles: always on.)

My mission is simple: learn about the coolest discoveries in engineering, programming, and research without accidentally starting a small fire, and ultimately make my modest contribution to the world of science - preferably one that doesn't require a hazmat suit.

and more about me

I live by a simple creed: "If it’s not broken, keep tinkering until it is—then learn how to fix it better." By day, I’m a student oscillating between differential equations and robot prototypes that like to express themselves through smoke signals. There’s magic in solving problems—whether it’s convincing Python that no, a list shouldn’t randomly become a tuple, or explaining to my 3D printer that "abstract blob" wasn’t the design goal.

When I’m not neck-deep in code or solder fumes, you’ll find me:

In the pool chasing a new record (butterfly swimming still belongs to me), but my freestyle could almost be called "intentional", or

in my garden where my tomatoes thrive but my basil stubbornly refuses to live, or

In the kitchen, conducting edible experiments. Recent breakthroughs: "What if we add all the spices?" and "Yes, that’s supposed to be charred (it’s ‘caramelized’)." Prototype chocolate chip cookies now at Version 12.3—still optimizing for structural integrity.


Mission: To chase the next "what if" in tech, science, and questionable cooking—preferably without triggering the fire alarm too often. (Lab coat and oven mitts: equally essential PPE.)

Projects & Educational Activities

I will showcase my creative projects that demonstrate my skills in technology. I love solving problems and implementing ideas.

 Average GPA above 4.85

 In-depth study of maths, physics, computer science and English.

Participation in a joint educational engineering programme with MISIS University.

Application of neural networks in robotics

Prize winner of the Future of Science and Technology competition

I defended a project on the application of neural networks in robotics.
The prototyping demonstration exam, where I won the prize-winning status, taught me how to turn ideas into working models using CAD programmes and 3D printers.
participation in the creation of a "smart" greenhouse for arctic regions

Engineering practices: from theory to real projects

In 2024, I attended the School of Engineering Solutions at NITU MISIS on the basis of the All-Russian Children's Centre "Ocean" in Vladivostok. There, I immersed myself in the world of industrial design, learnt the basics of working with Arduino and participated in the creation of a smart greenhouse for the Arctic regions. This experience showed how engineering solves global problems.

To create a sustainable company in the green building industry

work on the project "EcoStroy"

Working on a project to create a sustainable company in the field of environmentally friendly construction and resale of real estate, contributing to the harmonious development of society and the environment.
Development of a business plan for an IT project

Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship in the Tech Sector

I studied at BATYRËV CAMP at the Sirius Education Centre. We Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship in the Tech Sestoganalysed startup cases, learned how to present ideas to investors and even developed a business plan for an IT project. This helped to understand how innovations become part of the market.
But the most memorable were the excursions to production. For example, a visit to the Iskra factory opened up for me the stages of developing electronic components - from drawings to assembly. I saw how theory from textbooks is translated into real devices, and this inspired me to delve into 3D modelling.
Drone project for monitoring forest fires

Active engineering research and development activities and advances in 3D modeling

I am currently working on a forest fire monitoring drone project where I combine my programming, mechanical and environmental skills.

3rd category draftsman-designer

3D Modeling and Drawing: Skills for Innovation

This qualification allowed me to work with professional programs such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks, as well as participate in school projects. For example, at the scientific and practical conference "Through Thorns to the Stars" I took 2nd place with a model of an energy-efficient building created in BIM design software.

Community and volunteering: soft skill development

In addition to engineering, I am actively involved in the life of the school.

  • “Fun Math”

    helps me to keep in shape to meet the challenges

  • “Olympiad math”

    analyze Olympiad tasks at the level of the All-Russian Olympiad of schoolchildren

  • “Programming”

    in Python class, we write algorithms to analyze data.

  • Volunteering at GBOU School 171

    Teaches me about teamwork and organizing events. I helped organize a Science Day where students presented their projects, and it made me realize how important it is to keep other kids interested in STEM
My goal is to attend a leading technical university to study robotics or artificial intelligence. I believe that the combination of engineering skills, research experience and an entrepreneurial mindset will allow me to create technologies that will improve people's lives.

Every step of the way - whether it's winning an Olympiad, spending a week at Oceana, or spending hours at a 3D printer - reinforces my belief that engineering is not just a profession. It's a way to change the world for the better. And I am ready for the challenge.
