Hi, I'm Maxim 👋

About
I'm a high school junior with an interest in systems that sit at the crossroads of software, sensing, precision engineering, and mathematics. What really fascinates me is autonomous systems that can perceive their environment, reason about it, and act — whether its robots navigating their environment or a model making decisions based on its inputs. AI and data science are the tool I'm currently learning to apply to those problems in order to build things that are intelligent and useful. Right now, I'm developing the foundation for that through personal projects, rigorous coursework, and competitions and activities.

Want to talk? I'm currently exploring opportunities in engineering research, robotics programs, and AI projects. If you're working on something interesting — or just want to talk about it — feel free to reach out via email or GitHub.
I'm a high school junior, so I'm especially interested in summer programs, research exposure, and collaborative projects.
