  • Clean-Core & BTP: Hands-on experience with in-app and side-by-side extensibility, SAP BTP (CAP / RAP), and API-based integrations.

  • Engineering Practice: Proven experience in code reviews, automated security scanning (e.g., CVA / ATC), transport management, DevOps discipline, and performance tuning.

  • Leadership & Environment: Track record of leading developer teams in controlled, secure, restricted-access, or public-sector environments.
