What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead end-to-end, configuration-first ERP and IFS Cloud transformations where I can align business needs with scalable, upgrade-safe solutions, automate core processes, and mentor cross-functional delivery teams.

At Astra Systems, I lead end-to-end IFS implementations from discovery and blueprinting through configuration, integration, testing, cutover, and hyper care. I translate business requirements into scalable, out-of-the-box IFS designs across Finance, Projects, SCM, and Service.

As functional solution architect for HCI Systems, I helped reduce monthly financial close from seven to four days and billing from ten to two days. I've also delivered enterprise IFS rollouts for Wabash Valley and statutory-compliant finance implementations for ACS and CDC.

I bring earlier experience in business finance, SME credit risk, and SAP ABAP to architecture conversations. I favor clean-core, configuration-first delivery, mentor multidisciplinary teams, and focus on practical automation that improves control, visibility, and adoption.
