Summary
SAP Data & Analytics Architect with 23 years in IT, including 18+ years in SAP Data & Analytics and 10+ years defining architecture and standards at enterprise level. I set data and analytics strategy so that platform decisions serve business outcomes: reference architectures and design standards that delivery teams actually adopt, modernization roadmaps that sequence risk rather than technology preference, and governance that makes data trustworthy for decision-making. Rare hands-on SAP Business Data Cloud delivery: tenant provisioning, formation, intelligent application deployment (Working Capital Insights with finance KPI delivery), data products, and zero-copy Delta Sharing integration with Databricks. Led the end-to-end architecture of BW-to-Datasphere/BDC modernization at scale: a 1,400+ DataSource assessment with complexity classification and wave planning aligned to S/4HANA timelines, plus delivery risk oversight that caught a critical S/4-BW go-live collision before it reached the schedule. Deep across the required stack: BW/4HANA, Datasphere semantic modeling, SAC, S/4HANA embedded analytics (CDS views), and SLT/ODP/API integration. Evaluate and adopt emerging SAP capabilities in practice: led a BDC POC recommending a client modernization path, delivered SAP Joule and SAC Smart Predict use cases, and built a production MCP server integrating an LLM assistant with Datasphere. Mentor architects through structured certification-track programmes and lead technical hiring.
