Work History
SAP Technical Lead
ERP Analysts Inc.
Houston, USA
10.2021 - Current
- Own end-to-end technical architecture for SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and BTP — setting target-state design direction, documenting solution designs and architecture decisions, and driving the technical roadmap for the SAP estate.
- Architect and build modern OO-ABAP and RAP business objects and services (managed and unmanaged), complex CDS Views, table functions, and AMDP on SAP HANA, alongside the full RICEFW estate — BAdIs, enhancement spots, RFCs, BAPIs, IDocs, and forms — in Eclipse ADT and Business Application Studio.
- Design, build, and expose secure, scalable SAP APIs — OData v2/v4, RESTful, SOAP, RFCs, BAPIs — configure SAP Gateway and deliver Fiori/UI5 applications, and develop side-by-side and on-stack extensions on SAP BTP (ABAP Environment/Steampunk, Cloud Foundry, CAP, SAP Build).
- Own enterprise integration architecture on SAP Integration Suite — Cloud Integration, API Management, Trading Partner Management, Edge Integration Cell — delivering real-time and batch integration across SAP and non-SAP systems (MuleSoft, Salesforce, OpenText, CRM, WMS, B2B/EDI) via IDoc, RFC, REST, SOAP, and SFTP adapters.
- Enable event-driven, API-led architecture with SAP Event Mesh, designing reusable integration patterns, microservices, and APIs; establish data-flow governance, error-handling frameworks, and proactive monitoring to ensure data consistency and reliable message flow across all integration touchpoints.
- Drive clean-core strategy across the ECC-to-S/4HANA transformation, remediating custom code, rationalizing legacy customizations, and enforcing quality through ATC variants and ABAP Unit test coverage for regression protection.
- Lead and mentor onshore and offshore developers and external delivery partners, running design and code reviews that enforce development standards and clean-core principles.
- Serve as SAP technical owner for automation and AI initiatives — architecting the SAP-side layer that exposes business functionality to RPA, intelligent automation, and AI/ML platforms through custom RFCs, BAPI wrappers, and API interfaces built to enterprise security and performance standards.
- Operationalize AI-assisted engineering across the delivery workflow (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, MCP for SAP ADT) and evaluate emerging SAP AI capabilities to accelerate build, review, and remediation cycles.
- Manage upgrades, releases, OSS notes, environment synchronization, and transport management with Basis, Security, Infrastructure, Cloud, and AMS teams; lead root cause analysis on complex production issues and resolve performance bottlenecks in ABAP, database queries, and API payloads across GxP, HIPAA, and SOX-regulated landscapes.
