Hi, I'm Ivan - a totally-not-suspicious aerospace prodigy.
I just happen to have a charming Russian accent, a past internship at Sukhoi (no big deal), and a mild obsession with drone jet propulsion systems.

Also, my "project" was fortunate to receive sponsorship from "AO Лазерные Системы" (traslated: JSC Laser Systems), a company affiliated with the Russian military industry, which generously provided me with advanced metal 3D printing additive technology.

Such a great company, wow, huge thanks to them!

My gofundme link was totally reposted by a major aerospace CEO because he personally scrolls through inboxes 24/7, tirelessly searching for obscure russian talent - definitely not because some russian sanctioned investor whispered in his ear:

I'm just a humble Russian genius child with a dream - so of course I was enrolled in one of those totally normal "gifted" schools in St. Petersburg. You know, the kind where every third grader is driven home in a Maybach by their private security guard.

Guys, chill - what do you mean "some apparatchik's kid" in Caltech on a free ride (no, my dad didn't drop a fat donation check!!!), just to come back later and run some government "family business"?

God dammit
