About me

Born in Saint Petersburg, grew up in Ukhta and Shchyolkovo. Into aviation since school: themed camps at Orlyonok and Artek, research projects on aerodynamics and composites.

More

Since 2025 I have been studying Mechanical Engineering at Selçuk University on a Türkiye Bursları scholarship, after a year of learning Turkish. Aircraft maintenance and repair interest me most. The plan: graduate in 2029, work as an engineer in Germany, and fund modular EASA fATPL training from the salary.
