          <h2>About Me</h2>
          <p>
            I’m Vlad Petrosyan, a high-school student from Erie, Pennsylvania who builds robotics and software that solve
            real student problems. I’m the head programmer on my FTC robotics team, and I love taking ideas from concept
            to something people can actually use. That means writing reliable Java for competition robots, prototyping
            tools in Python and C++/Arduino, and building web apps that feel clean and practical.
          </p>
          <p>
            I’m especially interested in self-hosted systems and Raspberry Pi projects because they give students more
            control over their data and their workflow. When I build a project, I focus on clarity, speed, and making it
            easier for people to stay organized. Orbit is my latest example—an all-in-one student hub designed for real
            school life, built and tested like a product, not a demo.

          <h2>About Orbit</h2>
          <p>
            Orbit is my Build4Students hackathon project, built to solve everyday student life problems in one place. It
            runs on a server and opens in a browser, starting with a landing page that explains the idea and lets
            students sign in. Once inside, students get a dashboard that ties together their schedule, study sets,
            assignments, and chats without juggling multiple apps.
          </p>
          <p>
            Orbit lets students add classes and a weekly schedule, then shows countdowns and details for each class. It
            includes study tools like flashcards, tests, practice, and matching. Messaging is private and organized, with
            separate class chats, direct messages, and group chats. Friend requests must be accepted before chatting.
            Messages are saved on the server for up to 30 days, and can be encrypted if the user sets a key.
          </p>
          <p>
            Because Orbit is server-based and self-hostable, students and schools can keep data private while still
            getting a modern, connected workflow.
