Here is an overview of my speaking engagements, sessions, and presentations.
ABAPCONF - JUNE 2026 - MANNHEIM
In this session, we explore how to build custom CDS entities in ABAP RAP backed by a fully custom query implementation using the IF_RAP_QUERY_PROVIDER interface. We walk through how to programmatically handle incoming request parameters such as filtering, sorting, and paging (top/skip) within the SELECT method, and demonstrate how to define and resolve associations to enable $expand capabilities for OData consumers. By the end, attendees will know how to take full control over data retrieval in RAP while still adhering to the framework’s contract — ideal for scenarios involving legacy APIs, external data sources, or complex custom logic.
THE SAP INTELLIGENCE EVENT – MARCH 2026 - AMSTERDAM
At TAIEFY (The AI Event For You), a new event series taking place at the Booking.com Headquarters in Amsterdam, I’ll be presenting two AI use cases in the SAP world: Building on my previous AI documentation work, I demonstrate automated translations of ABAP development objects using n8n. Additionally, I’ll showcase ODAPU, my open-source tool for testing RAP, SEGW, and ABAP Push Channels in one unified interface.
UI5ERS LIVE – NOVEMBER 2025 - ONLINE LIVE SESSION
Is it a camera or a washing machine? With the limited UI5 icon library, it’s often hard to tell. Icons in UI5 are heavily restricted and their appearance and availability vary across versions – leading developers to misuse icons for unintended purposes. In this talk, we explore how Font Awesome can extend UI5 with thousands of additional icons, ensuring consistent appearance and guaranteed availability across all versions.
ABAPCONF – JUNE 2025 - HAMBURG
Software documentation is time-consuming and an unpopular topic among SAP developers. Using n8n, a non-SAP solution, this talk demonstrates how AI can automate the documentation process for ABAP development objects.
