What I'm looking for

I'm looking to drive impactful data, analytics, and SAP modernization solutions in a dynamic organization, using my experience in cloud data platforms, migration, architecture, and stakeholder engagement.

I've led SAP and cloud data modernization programs for Accenture, Capgemini, McLaren Strategic Ventures, and freelance clients, building Snowflake and Databricks lakehouse solutions. My work spans SAP analytics, S/4HANA migration, BI architecture, data modeling, and stakeholder-led delivery.

For SAP S/4HANA reporting modernization, I helped unlock real-time enterprise BI and reduce manual effort by approximately 90 man-days per month. I also lead workshops, define analytics roadmaps, build dbt models and pipelines, and support solution architecture and RFP responses.
