SERVICES & SOLUTIONS

30+ years on the IBM i.

Still learning. Still building. And apparently, now I'm helping IBM Bob bring the next generation of engineering to life. Who knew?

I've spent more than three decades developing, supporting, integrating, and modernizing applications running on the IBM i.

Applications that keep businesses running.

And through all those years, I chose to stay in the trenches, doing what I love most—engineering, solving complex problems, and building solutions.

While management offered a different path, my passion was always on the front lines of technology, where the challenges were exciting, the learning never stopped, and the real fun happened.

I've seen technology trends come and go. Some changed everything. Others just gave us new terminology for things we were already doing.

Enter AI: This one is different.

Today, much of my focus is on IBM Bob and helping IBM i organizations embrace AI-powered software engineering—not by abandoning decades of investment in proven applications, but by giving those applications, and the engineers who understand them, an entirely new future.

Building on what already works, preserving decades of valuable business logic while introducing the AI capabilities, architecture, automation, and engineering practices that will carry these systems forward.

My goal isn't simply to teach IBM i developers how to use IBM Bob. Its to help organizations rethink how engineering gets done—with IBM Bob as a catalyst for that transformation.

The Experience Behind the Enthusiasm.

My background spans the full software development lifecycle, from enterprise application architecture and ERP integration to business process automation, system implementation, and production support.

I've designed and delivered solutions across retail, distribution, manufacturing, healthcare, insurance, construction, supply chain, inventory management, purchasing, finance, payroll, CRM, POS, and service management.

That experience has taught me something important: The technology is rarely the hardest part.

Understanding the business, preserving what works, and helping people adapt to change—that's where the real engineering happens. And that's precisely why I'm so enthusiastic about IBM Bob and the opportunities AI creates for the IBM i community.
