I have worked in the mainframe space for the past 24 years. I recently joined IBM's Z AIOps product management team as one of the product managers for the IBM Z IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS products. I started my mainframe career, creating software to model virtual tape systems. I worked with experts at IBM to learn what was needed to understand the space and the technology. From virtual tape systems, I expanded to Disk Storage Systems, again working with experts to learn what was needed. Since 2008 I have expanded to learn about capacity planning and performance management at large mainframe sites, working with customers to create software that helps people prevent and solve issues affecting availability. My current knowledge covers a large part of the work performed by capacity planning and performance teams for large mainframe sites.
