About me


Maciej Zachariasz. LinkedIn profile

Welcome to my website, where I try to explain technical details of running SAP workloads on Google Cloud Platform. I am a SAP Architect (with multiple years of experience as a SAP Basis Consultant), specialising in SAP migrations from on-premises to Google Cloud Platform! Professionally, I’m a Googler (SAP Cloud Migration Specialist), supporting mostly EMEA-based customers during complex migration projects to GCP.

At the same time, since Jan 2020, I’m an active Google Cloud Platform trainer who loves doing GCP deep dives and teaching others about different Infrastructure-related GCP areas (Compute Engine, Networking, Security, Kubernetes, SAP on GCP etc). I have 9 GCP certificates and I will most probably not stop there ;).

I strongly believe in GCP technological advantages that make it a perfect public cloud platform for running your SAP systems. I hope my publications will be helpful for your scenario. If you need more details or have any technical doubts, feel free to contact me!
