My background includes designing comprehensive technical documentation, managing projects using Agile and Waterfall methodologies, and facilitating functional workshops with multidisciplinary teams. I am results-oriented and focused on collaborating with end-users to ensure smooth system adoption. My expertise covers the implementation of SAP S/4 HANA and, potentially, AVEVA MES, with a strong commitment to developing technology roadmaps and driving change within organizations.
