About me

My name is Karimbek. Born and raised in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, I have always been interested in mathematical problems, which worked as a fundament for curiosity on electricity. With perfect Russian and advanced English, I am now focused on enhancing my engineering skills and pursue a degree in Electrical Engineering in the United States, aiming to contribute to the global engineering community.

Current focus

📖 Advanced Physics & Circuit Theory

I am currently researching electromagnetism and circuit analysis to build a solid academic bridge between high school and university engineering. By learning fundamentals of physics and electricity, I am preparing myself for the rigorous challenges of Electrical Engineering in the U.S.

⚙️ Embedded Systems & Hardware Logic

I am actively developing my skills on using code and physical hardware through the Arduino ecosystem. My major focus is to understand how microcontrollers work, allowing me to design functional prototypes of circuit design

💻 Programming (Python)

I learn Python to simplify the algorithms and cowering with electronics in my projects.

Experience

My professional journey through research and internships

Wisdom of the Crowd

Research paper

Does the group stay 'wise' when people start influencing each other? An experiment on collective intelligence and social bias. By comparing independent guesses against those influenced by prior data, I explored how information transparency affects the accuracy of group judgment.

Engineering Intern

Internship

Completed an intensive internship in a leading local electrical company specializing in power solutions for major industrial consumers and factories, BiEl Electric LLC, Kyrgyzstan from July 1 2025 to July 10 2025. Gained direct exposure to large-scale power infrastructure and industrial engineering standards.

Activities

Beyond my professional experience, I focus on activities that demand strategic foresight and technical precision. Whether competing in chess or managing broadcast infrastructure

Personal Sport and Tech Community

🎲 Rubik's cube

Speed-solving and competitive cubing have sharpened my spatial reasoning and pattern recognition skills.

My accomplishments

  • Speedcubing Competitor (WCA) - Ranked in the Top 50 nationally in 3x3 average (sub 18 seconds)
  • Personal best single solve: Sub 16 seconds (3x3)
  • Mastered multiple solving methods: CFOP, Roux
My WCA

♟️ Chess

Strategic thinking and long-term planning through competitive chess.

My accomplishments

  • School chess tournament winner
  • School chess club member
  • Mentored classmates in chess

🎣 Recreational fishing

A simple way to disconnect from the daily routine and enjoy time outdoors. It helps me recharge and clear my mind after working on technical projects.

The Wisdom of the Crowd

Overview

Does the group stay 'wise' when people start influencing each other? An experiment on collective intelligence and social bias. By comparing independent guesses against those influenced by prior data, I explored how information transparency affects the accuracy of group judgment.

Methodology

Independent group

Participants estimated the weight of an orange independently.

Influenced group

Participants were informed of the average estimate from previous respondents before giving their own.

Collected data

Note: All values in the table are measured in grams (g)

Conclusion

The results of this research provide strong evidence on the validity of the "Wisdom of the Crowd" phenomenon, simultaneously highlighting its fragility. The study successfully demonstrated that independence as a necessary condition of collective intelligence.

Internship in BiEl Electric LLC

Overview

Completed an intensive internship in a leading local electrical company specializing in power solutions for major industrial consumers and factories, BiEl Electric LLC, Kyrgyzstan from July 1 2025 to July 10 2025. Gained direct exposure to large-scale power infrastructure and industrial engineering standards.

Context

BiEl Electric LLC is a crucial player in Kyrgyzstan's energy sector, providing power for high-load industrial consumers, such as factories.

Core focus

During the internship, I approached engineering from the perspective of technical documentation and system design.

Skills learned

From the internship at BiEl Electric LLC, I learned that industrial engineering is 90% preparation and only 10% execution. It also taught me that a single error on a blueprint can lead to critical failures in high-load systems. This internship helped me to shift from "trial and error" to "think twice".
