SAP ecosystems shipped since 2021 with measurable impact.
André Derichs · Tech Lead · SAP UI5 & CAP Specialist
Ship SAP ecosystems with producer-level focus.
Five years in enterprise delivery taught me how to pair SAP UI5, CAP, and ABAP depth with DevOps discipline. I keep a terminal open, Docker humming, and still write code, run reviews, and guide squads with the same rhythm I bring to songwriting sessions.

- DevOps-first mindset—Linux and Docker since 2018.
- Rapper, songwriter, and gamer powering creative edge.

Guiding principles
How I think about systems, people, and craft
Storytelling meets engineering rigor so every build feels intentional.
Ship clean architecture first, then layer motion and story that reinforces the intent.
Each build carries my signature mix of engineering rigor and musical creativity.
Faster interfaces let users focus—optimize payloads, caching, and SAP runtimes.
Dockerized pipelines and Linux-first ops remove drama from releases.
