SAP BW/4HANA Lead at Cyberpro, modernizing Standard Bank’s data warehouse and cutting query runtimes by up to 40%.

At Cyberpro, I led Standard Bank’s transition from legacy BW on HANA to SAP BW/4HANA, applying LSA++ architecture and ODP data provisioning. I also delivered regulatory reporting solutions for BA900 and BA610.

I designed and optimized native HANA Calculation Views, procedures, and functions, reducing query runtimes by up to 40%. Restructuring process chains and refining data models improved daily data load performance by about 25%.

Earlier, at KS Technologies, I worked on Standard Bank’s BW migrations, data models, and Treasury and Capital Management reporting. My experience also includes SAP BI work for Coca-Cola and SAP quality assurance for Telkom, alongside certifications in SAP BW/4HANA, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP BW 7.5 on HANA, and SAP BI.
