SUMMARY |
I have experience in all aspects of MVS, OS/390 and z/OS
mainframe computing. Since 1981, I have operated, installed, configured,
modified, debugged and supported all levels of IBM’s MVS OS/390 and z/OS
operating systems, and associated program products. I have worked for very
large companies and have consulted for several companies as an independent
contractor. I started Trainframe, Inc., a company that specializes in
creating and selling mainframe, Unix, AS/400 and Windows custom training
modules. |
