Radio engineering student by day, developer and hands-on tinkerer by night. I just like building things, figuring out how stuff works, and automating tasks that feel too repetitive -whether that means writing a Python script, setting up a ROS 2 stack, or fixing a broken CNC mill.
Currently spending my time between code editors, electronics labs, and workshops.
- Hardware & Robots: ROS 2, MicroPython, ESP32, FPV hardware.
- Software & Infra: Python (Django), C++, Docker, PostgreSQL, Linux.
- CAD & Workshop: Kompas3D, FreeCAD, CNC milling (aluminum/carbon), FDM 3D printing.
- RoboLab21: Actively involved in the lab - working on the "Microbot" educational robots' software and contributed to our Eurobot Pro project. I also help with minor organizational tasks and enjoy bringing other School 21 students into the lab's ecosystem.
- SVERK: Worked on designing, assembling, and programming educational drones, alongside prototyping custom hardware frames.
- School & Municipal Automation: Back in my school days, I built tools for local municipal needs. This included reverse-engineering school APIs to sync access control with internal databases, building a bot for evacuation tracking, and developing internal portals, landing pages, and databases to parse and store geospatial data for the city administration.
- Freelance: Spent some time building various websites, web scrapers, and Telegram bots for freelance clients.
- Information Security Olympiad: Won 1st place at the regional level of the All-Russian Olympiad two years in a row and made it to the national finals (where I tanked the finals, but learned a lot). Later turned that experience into coaching the republic's team, designing tasks for the municipal stage, and serving as a jury member for the regional finals.
- Eurobot Pro: Participated with a team developing a universal navigation and localization stack using lidars and ArUco markers.
- School-era Contests: Active participant in various robotics conferences and competitions back in my school days.
- Moscow Polytechnic University —-Radio Engineering.
- School 21 - Data Science & Machine Learning.
- Lyceum 161 - Where it all started.
- Live Event Tech: I enjoy messing around with pro audio and lighting gear. Worked on technical production for city-scale events, managing digital mixing boards (X32, Yamaha TF5), SunLite, and writing custom OBS plugins to sync multiple stages.
- Theater Sound: Spent some time running sound design and cues for the "Melpomena" school theater group using Multiplay.
