PROBLEM
Purchase requests get stuck in email. Approved requests are re-keyed into purchase orders.
WHAT I BUILT
A RAP managed business object (strict(2)) on SAP BTP ABAP Environment. Requisition, approve or reject, then purchase order. A Next.js front end talks to it through a server-side proxy that handles CSRF tokens and session cookies.

PROBLEM
Equipment downtime is expensive. Faults must move quickly from report to repair, and managers need reliability metrics.
WHAT I BUILT
3 RAP managed business objects with 6 actions and cross-object status logic. A fault becomes a work order, then scheduled, started, completed. A FastAPI analytics service and a Next.js control-room dashboard show MTTR, availability % and backlog.

SHEET 03 · CONSTRUCTION LOG

How this bridge got built

Every bridge starts on one bank. Mine started in Bangalore.

  1. PIER 01 · FOUNDATIONS

    Bangalore

    I grew up in a middle-class family in Bangalore and had never left my home state. My parents are my world. They taught me to be organised, to finish every job I'm given, and to listen. I always had one instinct: if everyone went one way, I'd look at the other.

  2. PIER 02 · SURVEY

    Manipal

    I dreamed of seeing the world, but finances meant starting closer to home. I joined Manipal's 2+2 program, worked hard, and earned a place at the University of Sydney — even though it wasn't one of the program's partner universities.

  3. PIER 03 · CROSSING

    Sydney

    Landing in Sydney was a shock. New culture, new people, and honestly, I didn't know how to talk to anyone yet.

  4. PIER 04 · LOAD TEST

    BridgeClimb

    My job on the Sydney Harbour Bridge changed that. Guiding climbers from all over the world taught me to communicate clearly under pressure. Today people tell me I'm a confident speaker — I wasn't when I arrived. I learned because I was willing to.

  5. PIER 05 · DESIGN

    Finding SAP

    My dad is an auditor. He'd always talked about SAP — how it runs businesses, and how he once dreamed of working with it. When I researched it myself, everything clicked: organising complex systems, automation, consulting and SAP BTP. It felt like all the things I enjoy in one place.

  6. PIER 06 · BUILD

    Proof, not promises

    I knew nobody would hire me on potential alone, so I set out to be useful first. I studied on SAP Learning Hub and built two production-style SAP applications on BTP — ProcureFlow and AssetPulse — with automated tests and clean code-quality checks. I'm completing the C_ABAPD certification by January 2027.

  7. PIER 07 · NEXT SPAN

    Under construction

    Looking for my first summer internship (Dec 2026 – Feb 2027) and SAP ABAP Cloud / BTP graduate roles from Dec 2027. Let's build the next span together.

Portrait of Rakshith Chandra Shekar
FIG. 1 · R. CHANDRA SHEKAR
