I have 20+ years experience in the IT industry with 16 years of SAP experience including both  functional and technical designs and development.  I have a BS is Operations Management which allows me to efficiently analyze manufacturing processes and implement technology to streamline operations and realize significant time and financial savings for process industries.
I have participated in multiple Go-Lives (some with E-commerce) from 3.X to ECC 6.0 and multiple EDI /IDOC custom implementations.  I have worked extensively with SD(configuration and enhancements), MM ,WM(extensive configuration and custom applications for putaway and packing processes and mobile applications/RF technology) and PP modules.  I am very experienced with BAPIs, Smartforms, IDOCs, and User Exits/Enhancements. I have most recently been working with EDI, ACH interfaces, Netweaver and Adobe Interactive Forms, Web Dynpro Applications, and miscellaneous help desk tickets for Basis support (ECC upgrades).  My technical services includes analysis of processes, detailed technical design documentation including current processing and new processing, cost/benefit analysis, configuration changes, integration of custom constant tables for development configuration(no hard coding), reusable object oriented models, performance tuning, program documentation, and tracking of production issues/resolutions.
