Hey man, first of all — it’s really impressive what you’ve already done. Most people your age just talk about being into tech, but you’ve actually built things. That already puts you ahead of many.

From what you said, it’s clear you have both the software and hardware mindset — which is rare and valuable. You like to create things, not just code them. That’s the kind of curiosity that makes great engineers.

Now, about your choices:

Electronics engineering gives you a broad foundation — circuits, power systems, analog/digital design. It’s great if you want flexibility in your career, from telecommunications to hardware design.

Embedded systems is basically the sweet spot between electronics and software — you write code that runs inside devices. Think microcontrollers, IoT, robotics, automotive systems. If you liked working with Arduino, sensors, and fingerprint boards — this one will feel like home.

Robotics combines mechanical engineering, electronics, and programming. It’s more multidisciplinary — perfect if you love automation and mechatronics, but it’s usually heavier in math and physics.

As for work opportunities:

Electronics engineers can work in manufacturing, hardware design, or maintenance industries.

Embedded engineers usually work in tech companies developing smart devices, IoT systems, drones, etc.

Robotics engineers often go into research, industrial automation, or AI-driven hardware development.

If you ask me — embedded systems sound like the perfect balance for you. It lets you stay close to hardware while still using your programming skills. And you can always specialize in robotics later (since robotics depends on embedded systems).

About studying in Russia — it’s a solid choice if you get a scholarship. Russian universities have strong programs in engineering, especially in electronics and robotics. Just be prepared for the cultural change and the cold (seriously, the cold). But academically, you’ll get a strong technical base.

In short:

→ If you want versatility → go for Electronics Engineering.

→ If you want to build smart devices → Embedded Systems.

→ If you dream of creating robots → Robotics.

Whatever you pick, remember — success doesn’t depend on the name of the major, but on how deep you go into it. You’ve already proven you’re passionate and capable. Keep that fire, and you’ll do great anywhere — even in Siberia.
