My journey after obtaining my Computer Science degree took me to the SAP Data warehousing world, where I honed my data analysis and data engineer skills in SAP. Covering both the frontend SAP tools like Business Objects and SAP Analytics Cloud and a plethora of tools that interface with SAP BW, like Qlik, Power BI, Data Services and Informatica. 
  • SAP BW and HANA related development, SAP analytics Cloud dashboard design, build and support.
  • BW based ABAP development
  • BW/4 HANA and S/4 HANA Embedded analytics with SAC
  • Power BI development - Dashboards that ran a global Migration project, and tracked a SAP Go live status, reporting on multiple data sources, and enabling the team to ensure a smooth project go live. 
Cloud - AWS Data Engineering, Python, Azure Data engineering via Data Factory and Synapse (Migration project taking SAP data to Azure Cloud and modelling it)
  • Dev Ops Terraform / AWS CI CD.
  • AWS Data Engineering - support and development of Front end and Backend, Angular, Python backend development.
  • Security Purple belt, managing all security related governance for the organisations cloud applications using WIZ.
Please review my CV. Where you would normally find a SAP BW HANA developer focussing solely on their craft, I also ensured that my Cloud data engineering knowledge and experience are part of my experience
