<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

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.

My career goal is to grow into a role where I can bridge the gap between business
