HANA Consultant @ RaboBank, Netherlands

  • In this project I was working on optimizing the use of HANA calculation views in Informatica PowerCenter ETL tool. The Informatica PowerCenter ETL tool was not performing well and it lead to a situation where the entire inmemory on HANA server was getting full. So in addition to HANA views , I had to learn basics of Informatica PowerCenter ETL tool to deliver the right solution.

  • In this project I was working on a proactive SAP HANA data loading management tool. I was the SAP HANA & UI5 developer for this tool. It offered an environment for hybrid reporting landscape to monitor business critical data loads only. Therefore, this tool offered a much-needed functional take on data loading, prioritized by business needs.

Contracting & Procurement – project: eOSCAR @ Shell International, Netherlands

  • This project was a complete re-design and rebuild of the complete Contracting & Procurement reporting portfolio from BW models and reports to native HANA reporting – consisting of a data model with 10 ERP systems.
  • The initial implementation in BW was a 5-year effort with a variety of reports ranging from global spend reports, materials management reports and requisition to payment reports. In HANA, along with a high-performance data model, we have taken the opportunity to switch from static reporting in Business Objects (Webi) to delivering dynamic dashboards in PowerBI.
  • I was involved with design and development of HANA models – Calculation view, Procedures, Table Functions etc and also was the go to resource when any technical challenges arose.
