SUMMARY

My most recent experience is managing Basis team and implementing complex

SAP projects. As a SAP Basis (Netweaver) Administrator of 7 years, I run

SAP under Windows, Unix and Linux. My daily duties include supporting SAP

functional personnel, researching and applying SAP notes, security patches

and support packs. Furthermore, I maintain job scheduling and monitor all

systems in the Global SAP Enterprise. My experience includes full project

life-cycle from beginning to Go-Live Support where I am heavily involved in

architectural design of SAP, its landscape and the functionality of

components.

I am well versed in all operations of the SAP Basis system. I monitor SAP

systems, setup background jobs, make application corrections, apply monthly

updates to Operating System, troubleshoot issues and monitor problems with

system, hardware and printers. Furthermore, I monitor ABAP dumps, research

resolutions and raise issues with SAP OSS. I administer and monitor the

TMS transport system, background jobs, backup jobs, mentor and coach staff

as well as document system processes. I have extensive experience

developing and managing SAP Security roles and profiles. I interact

heavily with business process owners in order to ensure alignment of SAP

systems with business processes.

I consider my Contractor experience in multiple organizations and exposure

to multiple IT environments my greatest asset.

requirements for new systems, system changes or enhancements in

coordination with business users, management, other IT resources as
