- Worked on multiple E-Commerce and OMNI channel projects that require developing integration solutions with various A2A systems and B2B vendors on Integration platforms like SAP PO 7.5, SAP CPI and Dell Boomi
- As part of Project BOPIS (Buy online & pickup in Store), architected and developed a complex integration solution for integrating internal systems like SAP S4/HANA, DAM (digital asset management system), etc with external Content Aggregators (e.g
- Kwikee, Syndigo, Salsify, etc.) which automates product attributes and digital content downloads extraction and in turn eliminates a lot manual workload for E-COM and Merchandising teams
- This solution helped web-site team to enable more than 18k articles in a short period of time and reduced manual copy writeup
- Worked on planning and implementation of PO 7.4 to PO 7.5 migrations (with zero downtime architecture)
