About Me

I'm a seasoned Configuration Engineer with over 10 years of experience in CPQ systems, CAD integration, and product lifecycle management. With a strong foundation in Web Technology and currently pursuing a Master's in Cybersecurity, I bring both technical depth and security awareness to every project.

When I'm not optimizing configuration systems or automating CAD workflows, you can find me exploring emerging technologies, contributing to technical documentation, or advancing my cybersecurity and web development expertise through continuous learning.
