• Collaborate with functional teams to capture requirements, create technical specifications, and implement SAP solutions aligned with business needs.
• Conduct code reviews and ensure alignment to SAP standard methodologies, using SAP quality tools like SAP ATC (ABAP Test Cockpit) for code inspection, optimization, and vulnerability detection.
• Leverage SAP BTP Build, SAP Business Application Studio and Joule to design, develop, extend, and optimize business processes.
• Implement SAP Fiori/UI5 applications and leverage SAP Build to enhance user experiences and improve application functionality.
• Maintain user documentation for all developed SAP solutions and ensure a smooth handover for future maintenance.
