• Deep expertise in SAP integration technologies, particularly BTP Integration Suite/CPI and PI/PO.
• Strong understanding of REST, SOAP, OData, APIs, IDocs, RFCs and event-driven architecture.
• Experience leading technical architecture tracks within large-scale SAP implementations, migrations or S/4HANA transformation programmes.
