<h2>About Me</h2>
<p>
I am a Technical Sales Professional with a background in consultative selling,
customer relationship management, and technical solution discovery. My experience
includes leading product demonstrations, conducting customer needs analysis, and
positioning solutions in ways that connect technical features to business impact.
</p>
<p>
I am currently expanding my technical skills through AI-powered software
development training, with hands-on experience in Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs,
Git, Maven, Postman, and responsive web design.
</p>
<p>
My career goal is to grow into a role where I can bridge the gap between business
and technology, whether in technical sales, solutions engineering, software sales,
or customer-facing technical consulting.
