• Performance Optimization: Review and tune complex Open SQL / Native SQL queries to handle volume extractions and load quickly, minimizing downtime during critical cutover windows.
• Development Leadership: Lead an onshore/offshore team of ABAP developers, conducting code reviews, maintaining development standards, and ensuring alignment with the overall migration timeline.
