Summary

My name is Zadkiel Maldonado Malugin. I am a 21-year-old certified automotive technician. I have spent many years working with my dad at his personal shop and professionally for around 33 months as of May 2025. I’ve advanced from an express technician to a Main Line certified technician in less than one year, proving my love and dedication to this field. I can handle any job, from basic maintenance to transmission, and engine replacements.
