This world is full of unique facts and knowledge in countless areas, so I don't aspire to concentrate only on one of them, attempting to explore it from various angles. Therefore, I'm an agnostic who researched Religious Studies, I'm an Engineer interested in History, I'm a Graphic Designer designing Robots!
First of all, I'm a PR, Outreach, Design lead and CAD mentor in the first Ukrainian FRC (Youth Robotics) team and co-founder of NGO "Kyiv Youth Federation of Robotics"
My robotics journey began in 2018 when I heard about a new robotics team at my school by chance. Despite my lack of expertise in this field, I was eager to learn and enrolled without hesitation. We won our first prize in Istanbul in 2019, and a year later, I became the first Ukrainian to win the coveted Dean's List award, qualifying for the world championship in Houston. But it was only a beginning.

I'm a winner of multiple academic olympiads in Social Science, a researcher in Religious Studies, Sociology, and History, founder and a leader of school Debates and MUN clubs
I was born in a difficult time for my country, witnessing revolutions, wars, and a significant economic downturn. My desire to understand complex political and social processes prompted me to pick up a history textbook from early childhood. Today Social Sciences has become for me not only a favorite subject but also a lifestyle.
I have written scientific studies in this area, winning the national stage and receiving a presidential scholarship. I created a school debate club from the ground up, which has successfully overcome dozens of tournaments, becoming one of the strongest in the city. I have gone through multiple MUM events and have been nominated several times for Best Delegate.
In this study, I examined the influence of the foundation of the independent Orthodox Church on the political and social processes in Ukraine through the prism of the Presidental elections in 2019 in Ukraine.
It considers the issue of religiosity of Ukrainian society from two leading positions: the current religious self-identification and the implementation of obligatory religious practices by believers. Thus, the scientific optics' main focus was that in Ukrainian religious studies is called "ritual-domestic" or "every day" religious consciousness. Summing up, I was able to see that most Ukrainians declare their "cultural Orthodoxy." They refer to Orthodoxy as a sociocultural phenomenon but are not religious or ecclesiastical believers in the classical sense of the word.

In this study, I examined the history of the creation and development of monetary relations in Ukraine in 1922-2019, based on my collection of banknotes and coins.
Money is not just an economic resource but a system of values and symbols that form and change along with society. Therefore, the monetary system is the best cut of the era, allowing you to look at it from a different angle. In this scientific study, I analyzed the basics of banknote symbolism during Soviet Ukraine, Ukraine during the Nazi occupation, and modern Ukraine.

Finally, I'm a Social Media Content Designer in numerous non-profit organizations, organizer and speaker of designing workshops
Many people think of graphic design as a collection of pretty graphics and text, but I think of it as a complete art form comparable to architecture or music. My journey in this route began in 2018, when my team was in desperate need of a designer. I had to master the fundamentals of computer design from the ground up. Over the last several years, I've worked as a graphic designer on a variety of projects and organizations, and I've even taught free courses to other robotics teams with over 450 members from nine countries.
