I am an enterprise IT professional with 30 years of mainframe experience, specializing in IBM z/OS, z/VM, CICS, and DB2.
My recent focus has been on IBM Mainframe DevOps, integrating modern CI/CD practices into legacy environments using tools like IBM DBB, GitLab, and OpenShift to accelerate delivery and improve resiliency.
I work across hybrid cloud, Linux on Z, and distributed systems to align infrastructure with business goals, driving automation, workload optimization, and secure, scalable operations.
Lastly, I enjoy working with AI, UAS, and robotics during public safety missions and mentor students in underserved communities to foster the next generation of STEM talent.
