Vintage motorcycles.
From maintenance to troubleshooting, my Honda Nighthawk CB700SC is a different kind of engineering classroom.

the engineer.
Hi, I'm Paulina “Pasha” Pogrebnyak.
I’m interested in robotics, electrical systems, and the kind of engineering that moves from a sketch to something real. I like asking questions, getting hands-on, and understanding why things work.

02 / MY APPROACH
A LITTLE ABOUT MY PHILOSOPHY
Curiosity first.
Build from there.
For me, engineering is as much about the process as the result. It's the moment something doesn't quite work, the clues hidden in the details, and the satisfaction of figuring out the next step.
I’m especially drawn to projects that mix thoughtful design with practical, hands-on problem-solving. I value learning from a team, asking better questions, and making each iteration a little stronger.
01
Stay curious.
Keep asking how systems work.
02
Make it real.
Prototype, test, learn, repeat.
03
Grow together.
Share ideas, learn from people.
03 / OUTSIDE THE LAB
More than circuits & code.
The interests that keep me exploring, taking things apart, and looking at the world a little differently.
02 / OFF THE CLOCK
Climbing & the outdoors.
Bouldering, hiking, and exploring new places remind me that a challenge can be something to enjoy.
03 / ALWAYS LEARNING
Robots & emerging tech.
I'm excited by the possibilities of automation, intelligent systems, and technology that makes a real difference.
