Lee started his IBM mainframe career in 1987 as a Trainee Computer Operator at the VSEL shipyard, Barrow-in-Furness. Two years later he joined the Telecommunications department as a Network Systems Engineer; generating NCPs for 37xx Communications Controllers and configuring VTAM definitions in the days when 64K SDLC WAN links and 16 Mbps Token-Ring LANs were considered ample bandwidth for subarea SNA networks. His TCP/IP experience started at Gulf Business Machines (IBM) in Bahrain in 1992 and he has developed his skills in SNA and TCP/IP networking over the last three decades to become one of the UK's leading z/OS, z/VM and Linux on Z Network Engineers. For the past six years he has worked as a freelance contractor with MTM Solutions Ltd, a family business he runs with his wife Debbie, who provides services and support for the Charity and Education sectors while Lee concentrates on mainframe network engineering.
