About Me

I like building things that actually work.

Howdy! I'm Alexei, a Mechatronics Engineering Technology student at Texas A&M University with minors in Embedded Systems Integration and Engineering Entrepreneurship.

I am most interested in projects that combine mechanical design, electronics, manufacturing, and software. I enjoy taking an idea from a sketch or CAD model through prototyping, testing, redesign, and eventually a functional physical product.

Outside of engineering, I am interested in entrepreneurship, aviation, and developing products of my own.
