## About

```text
At ABB Bulgaria, I oversee production and development for two electrical enclosure product lines, from raw materials through finished products. The manufacturing process includes punching, welding, pressing, painting, foaming, assembly, and packaging.

I prepare and implement new product lines, identify OPEX savings, and balance production capacity. I also initiate and lead Continuous Improvement projects using Kaizen and Lean Six Sigma.

At Cemdatic, I participated in research and fabrication of silicon-wafer-based gas sensors. My work included microfabrication, photolithography, thin-film deposition, etching, and sensor testing.

Earlier, at BIGA SOD - VIB EOOD, I installed, configured, and maintained security systems, including CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, and fire alarms. I also worked as a Scientific Researcher and Market Analyst, and completed engineering studies focused on production processes, automation, and materials science.
