// about me

Hi, I'm Abbas

A high school student from Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan — and a builder at heart.

Robotics and engineering are my real passion. I love turning ideas into things you can hold, watch move, and debug at 2am. From my first wobbly line-follower in 2021 to winning Gold at WRO Panama in 2023, every project taught me one thing: understand the why before you touch the how.

I'm planning to study engineering abroad and contribute to technologies that actually shape the future — not just chase trends. Outside the lab you'll catch me playing guitar, gaming, or reading philosophy.

The Journey

Five years of building, breaking, and learning

2021

Introduction to STEAM

Discovered electronics fundamentals — LEDs, resistors, breadboards — and the engineering mindset of breaking problems down before solving them.

2022

First Lines of Arduino

Took my first real steps into Arduino C++. Built my first Line Follower robot and a series of sensor-based automation projects.

2023🥇 WRO Panama · ARO Gold

Panama — The Golden Year

Qualified for the WRO International Finals in Panama. Learned what real teamwork looks like through sleepless nights — and brought home the National Gold Medal.

2024

Beyond Arduino

Pushed past the comfort zone — deep dive into ESP32, Raspberry Pi, ROS basics, and Computer Vision with OpenCV.

2025

University Prep + AI Builds

Focusing on university applications during the week, building AI-integrated projects on the weekends.

// 15 builds · 5 years

The Lab

Every robot, every breadboard, every all-nighter. Click any card for the technical breakdown.

Beyond Engineering

Robots aren't everything. Here's what else fuels me.

Guitar

Creative outlet that resets my mind. Practice keeps the engineering brain flexible.

Gaming

CS2 for reflexes, RDR2 for the storytelling. Games shaped my problem-solving early on.

Steam profile

Philosophy

Analytical thinking, ethics in tech, and asking why before how. The foundation under every system I build.

Personal Quote

"The best engineers don't just solve problems — they understand why the problem exists in the first place."
