Aspiring engineer · Builder · Creator · Curious learner

I like turning ideas into things that work.

I’m Varish, an IB student with a growing interest in mechanical and electrical engineering and a habit of turning curiosity into things I can actually build. I enjoy robotics, automation, energy systems and design — from competition robots and IoT projects to a full-scale autonomous beach-cleaning vehicle. Outside STEM, I’m a fun-loving person who enjoys music, food, adventure and spending time with people. I’m still figuring out exactly where engineering will take me, but I know I want to keep creating, learning and solving problems that matter.

Building is how I learn.

My projects sit at the intersection of engineering, design and real-world problems. Some began as school prototypes; others grew into independent projects. The common thread is making something, testing it, finding what is wrong, and trying again.
