What I'm looking for

I seek senior SAP BASIS/architecture roles driving cloud migrations and S/4HANA transformations with collaborative teams, clear timelines, and opportunities to lead cross-functional delivery.

I am an experienced SAP BASIS professional specializing in cloud migrations, SAP S/4HANA architecture and large landscape management. I lead cross-functional teams and coordinate offshore resources to deliver migration cutovers from on-premises to AWS.

My background includes hands-on SAP Basis administration, architecture ownership, data migration governance, and integration design across complex production landscapes with HA configurations. I have delivered cutover, testing and go-live activities while reporting progress and risk mitigation to leadership.

I have led global projects for clients across industries—designing S/4HANA readiness checks, implementing Concur and other cloud integrations, and executing green-light implementations for multiple applications. I also manage SAP security role planning and enterprise monitoring solutions.

Certifications include AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and multiple SAP technology and S/4HANA credentials, reflecting my commitment to best practices in OS/DB migration, Solution Manager, and SAP system upgrades. I am proactive, detail-oriented, and focused on delivering reliable, cost-effective SAP technical solutions.
