Develop technical roadmaps, architecture documents, decision materials, and executive updates that communicate priorities, risks, trade-offs, and required investments.
Evaluate emerging SAP and generative AI capabilities and identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity, user experience, automation, monitoring, and support.
