The business process first, then the code

I've been writing ABAP since 2010. I started as a junior developer at an SAP partner; today I lead the technical side of HANA migrations and S/4HANA readiness work.

I've delivered for banks, payment processors, agro-industry, logistics and HR teams. I understand the business process before I write the first line of code — that's why my developments go live and stay live.

I work in both worlds: classic ABAP (ALV, SmartForms, BAPIs, BAdIs, IDocs) that keeps operations running, and modern ABAP (RAP, CDS, AMDP, ABAP Cloud, Clean Core) that gets you ready for what's next. I use AI as a copilot to analyze, refactor and document faster, always with expert review.

Why hire me

S/4HANA and ABAP Cloud readiness

I analyze custom code, fix what breaks and refactor to Clean Core with RAP, CDS and released APIs.

HANA migrations

Led the technical execution of an Oracle → SAP HANA migration, including custom code impact analysis for RISE.

Finance and legal compliance

E-invoicing (CFDI 4.0, Carta Porte), tax withholding forms, W-2C, I-9, PCI DSS.

End-to-end delivery

From functional spec to transport: data model, code, forms, interfaces, unit tests and docs.
