What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead SAP Basis and cloud migration work—ensuring S/4HANA and ECC performance, availability, and cost optimization—while partnering with business and technical teams to execute complex transformations on time.

I’m a SAP Basis senior consultant with 15+ years’ experience delivering SAP platform stability, performance, and availability across complex landscapes. I specialize in installing, configuring, and optimizing SAP systems on cloud environments, including migration to SAP RISE.

I’ve led major migrations and conversions, including OS/DB migration and SAP support on ECC and HANA. I’ve supported multiple S/4HANA programs, including hardware sizing, SAP landscape installation (HANA and DEV-QAS-PRD), and performing cost optimization on Microsoft Azure and AWS to keep systems efficient.

I bring strong SAP UI and digital transformation experience as well—good knowledge on SAP Fiori with 10-12 Fiori implementations. I also create dashboards for Sales, Supply Chain, and Human Resources to support decision-making analysis and digital transformation strategy.

As a senior manager and technical leader, I work closely with technical and business teams to solve critical issues, build an action plan, and ensure on-time execution. I lead teams focused on performance and availability, manage recruitment and onboarding, and drive documentation and test readiness for reliable go-lives.
