Hello, my name is Alain Nicli. Highly motivated Java and SAP Hybris consultant with international client portfolio.
I currently work at SAP Hybris in Munich, Germany.

I have been collaborating with major firms around Europe like IBM, DELL EMC, SAP as well as medium sized companies and successful startups.
