PROGRAM

SAP + AI + Automation Enterprise Systems Engineer

A 12-month, hands-on program for SAP consultants and developers focused on enterprise consulting and modern build delivery.

Outcome: 3 portfolio-ready projects (GitHub), a clear consulting + delivery foundation, a practical modern stack (Python/FastAPI, Docker, Postgres, cloud), and a content engine on MetalHatsCats to grow your personal brand.

Who this is for

  • SAP consultants / AMS leads ready to move into consulting + development delivery
  • Enterprise developers who want a SAP + AI systems track
  • Those aiming for roles like: SAP Solution Architect, Enterprise Engineer, AI/Automation Lead

Who this is not for

  • If you want quick hacks with no real projects
  • If you dont want to write any code (light coding is required)

What you will build

PROJECT #1

AI Ticket Analyzer (Support Intelligence)

A service that ingests ticket exports (CSV/Jira/ServiceNow dumps), classifies issues, finds recurring clusters, suggests likely root causes and next actions, and speeds up triage.

SKILLS GAINED

Data modeling, prompt engineering, evaluation, retrieval, dashboards, operational metrics.

PROJECT #2

SAP Data Pipeline (MDG/S4/Interfaces)

An end-to-end data flow: SAP extraction (OData/files) validation and rules enrichment storage (Postgres) reporting and alerts.

SKILLS GAINED

Integration patterns, data quality checks, schema design, automation, monitoring.

PROJECT #3

Knowledge Base + RAG for SAP Ops

A searchable internal knowledge base that turns docs, runbooks, tickets, mapping rules, and lessons learned into answers with sources for faster resolution.

SKILLS GAINED

Chunking, embeddings, retrieval quality, guardrails, governance, and maintainability.

What youll get

  • A structured, step-by-step curriculum (no fluff)
  • Weekly deliverables and checkpoints
  • Templates: runbooks, RCA format, metrics dashboards, architecture diagrams
  • A portfolio strategy: how to present work as an expert (MetalHatsCats as your hub)

Program structure (12 months)

Phase 1 Foundations (Weeks 16)
System thinking, architecture basics, modern tooling, repo setup, baseline automation.

Phase 2 Data & Integrations (Weeks 716)
SAP data extraction patterns, validation, DQ rules, pipelines, monitoring.

Phase 3 AI for Operations (Weeks 1728)
Ticket classification, clustering, evaluation, safe prompts, RAG basics.

Phase 4 RAG + Knowledge Systems (Weeks 2940)
Knowledge base design, retrieval quality, governance, answers with sources.

Phase 5 Portfolio & Publishing (Weeks 4152)
Hardening, docs, demos, case studies, publishing roadmap, personal brand.

What makes it different

  • Built for SAP reality: MDG/S4, interfaces, data quality, cutovers, AMS
  • Portfolio-first: you finish with real systems, not tutorial projects
  • AI used as an engineering tool, not as magic

Requirements

  • 46 hours/week (minimum)
  • Willingness to code: Python + basic backend
  • GitHub account (portfolio)

FAQ

Do I need to be a developer already?
No, but you must be willing to write code and build. This is engineering-oriented.
Can I do it while working full-time in AMS?
Yes. The program is designed for steady weekly progress and reuse in your job.
What if I dont have access to real SAP systems?
We use anonymized data samples and local pipelines; you can still build the full stack.
