Electronics engineer and SAP specialist driving digital transformation and process optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am an Electronics Engineer with deep expertise in ERP/SAP ecosystems (SD, MM, PP, QM, PM, FI, CO, AM, PS) and a strong record of leading projects that improve operational efficiency, productivity, and process integrity. I blend technical systems knowledge with experience in high-rigor regulatory environments, gained as a Court Officer at the National Judicial Discipline Commission, ensuring legal compliance and precise procedural management.
I also bring professional experience as a technical and medical translator/interpreter, which sharpens my technical communication and ability to articulate complex solutions across cultures. I seek roles that leverage this combination to drive digital transformation, enforce process integrity, and deliver scalable, sustainable improvements.
