About
I'm Rossen — a senior from the Arlington Heights area with Bulgarian heritage, committed to Purdue for cybersecurity. I grew up taking things apart and building things, and that curiosity is what pulled me into robotics, coding, and STEM. I've spent four years on FRC Team 111 WildStang, where I grew into the team's robot driver. Outside of building, I'm passionate about mentoring — organizing events for younger students, teaching hands-on STEM skills, and making sure the people around me are supported and given a real chance to succeed.
