• Experience in enabling event‑driven architectures, including pub/sub patterns, event governance, and contract/schema evolution.

• Experience in integrating SAP solutions (e.g., S/4HANA/ECC and SAP cloud applications) with common enterprise non‑SAP platforms.

• Background in defining integration platform operating models, including governance, standards, reusable components, and intake processes.

• Experience in establishing reliability practices for integration platforms, such as SLOs/SLIs, error budgets, runbooks, and automated health checks.
