I'm a SAP CPQ Functional Consultant with 8.8 years of professional experience, including 5+ years of deep hands-on expertise in SAP CPQ (Callidus CPQ). I've delivered end-to-end implementations for global enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Honeywell, configuring complex product models, pricing logic, and approval workflows.

Beyond CPQ, I've also worked extensively on frontend development, IronPython scripting, SQL & MongoDB, and release management — giving me a well-rounded techno-functional perspective that bridges business needs and technical execution.

Today, I'm deeply invested in the world of Generative AI and Agentic systems. I'm exploring how multi-agent frameworks like CrewAI can revolutionize CPQ pricing intelligence, automate approval workflows, and create self-optimizing quote-to-cash processes.

My mission: Make enterprise systems smarter with AI.
