I build things that work — from drones you control with your phone to ML pipelines that predict markets.
About Me
/>
I'm a B.Eng. student at Ritsumeikan University in Osaka, Japan, originally from Kyiv, Ukraine. I focus on robotics, human-computer interaction, and data systems.
I believe the ability to learn matters more than existing knowledge. Every project I take on starts with something I don't fully understand — and that's exactly what drives me. Whether it's building an IMU-based drone control system, predicting stock movements from news sentiment, or studying how latency affects gamers, I approach each challenge with curiosity and persistence.
I've moved across continents, taught programming to middle-school students, tutored over 279 hours on Preply, co-founded a startup, and had research accepted at CHI 2026.
