• Write foundational, high-impact code using advanced frameworks, including ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) and Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP).
• Directly configure and manage BTP subaccounts, destinations, security environments (IAS/IPS), and runtime environments (Cloud Foundry/Kyma).
