SAP & SAP BTP solution architect

SAP and SAP BTP solution architect with 9 years in SAP/IT, from SAPUI5 developer to integration lead on multi-country S/4HANA programmes. I design BTP landscapes end to end (CAP, Fiori/UI5, CPI, MuleSoft, XSUAA, CI/CD) and run cutovers and go-lives with the calm of someone who has also produced 50+ live events.

    • Deployed MuleSoft as middleware between BTP applications and external telecom and logistics APIs (REST/JSON, OAuth2), enabling real-time provisioning flows between field operations and S/4HANA without point-to-point coupling.
    • Defined the XSUAA security architecture: 10+ custom roles, scope propagation between approuter and CAP services, and runtime feature flags by role and country.
    • Architected the integration layer: SAP CPI iFlows for ECC process orchestration, OData services, OpenText ECM, Salesforce CRM (OAuth2) and Microsoft 365 Graph API via BTP Destination and Connectivity.
    • Established CI/CD governance (Jenkins + SAP Piper, SonarQube, blue-green Cloud Foundry deployments, Kibana, SAP Cloud ALM) and acted as single point of contact for go-live readiness across 3 dev teams and 5 national stakeholder groups.
