About me

Robotics Engineer |
Hardware Design & Embedded Systems

I am a 3rd-year Robotics and Mechatronics student at KBTU. My passion lies in building functional hardware from the ground up. I have extensive experience in 3D design and rapid prototyping, using SolidWorks and Fusion 360 to bring complex mechanical systems to life. From soldering circuits to 3D-printing custom parts for drones and rovers, I enjoy the challenge of integrating hardware with intelligent software. My technical toolkit includes Python, C/C++, and AI, but I am equally at home in the lab working with electronics and mechanical assembly. Currently, I am focused on UAV navigation and am open to internship opportunities where I can contribute to innovative engineering projects.

My Projects

Portfolio

From conceptual design to physical assembly, I build systems that bridge the gap between software and hardware. Below are some of the engineering projects I’ve developed, focusing on autonomous navigation, computer vision, and precision mechanical modeling.

Autonomous Firefighting UGV Rover

Developed a prototype of an autonomous rover capable of detecting fire using a custom YOLOv8 model. I focused on integrating the computer vision system with hardware components like Raspberry Pi and ESP32 to automate fire suppression.

Boeing 777 Solidworks 3D Model

Academic 3D modeling project: Created a detailed assembly of a Boeing 777 in SolidWorks. This project helped me master advanced surfacing techniques and manage large assemblies with multiple moving parts and mechanical mates.

Autonomous Drone Landing System

Academic project: Developed an autonomous landing system for a quadrotor UAV using a Pixhawk controller. I implemented a vision-based PID control loop for precise landing on fractal markers and created a digital twin animation in NVIDIA Omniverse.

Let's Connect

I am a student passionate about robotics and engineering, currently looking for internship opportunities where I can learn and contribute. Whether you have a question about my projects or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out!
