Arcad Software
When it comes to describing someone, even yourself, it can be difficult. This time it's easy. I grew up on the AS400, through iSeries, and into the IBM i world. Started on a model B50 (I know it was a B model) where the disk drive needed two persons to replace and now in the DevSecOps world showing that the IBM i development fits right in with Agile and DevSecOps. Showing that one can move on from green screen and into a modern mode of development. After spending over two decades with IBM, I now help Arcad Software in showing that DevSecOps on IBM i isn't all that scary.
