I am an architect and have specialized in building developer tools for the past few years. I have experience in deploying APIs used by mobile apps and B2B systems, as well building developer focused apps. I really want to continue investing in the IBM i community by bringing powerful, open-source tooling to developers to make building applications easier and faster. I am passionate in building tools that people actually want to use, so being close to the end user is very important to me.

Since 2016, I have spoken at over 30 conferences in three continents and I am really proud to share what knowledge I have.

Experiences

If you're curious about some of the projects I've worked on as a developer and architect, please check out some of my favourite blog posts:

Support

Sponsoring me will allow me to work on the following projects, hopefully do it full time, and can additionally support you or your business when using them.

  • Code for IBM i
    • And new spin-off extensions!
    • Plus, I'd like to spend more time building additional AI powered tooling for IBM i.
  • Db2 for IBM i extension
  • RPGLE support in Visual Studio Code
  • CICD tools for IBM i (RPGLE & COBOL) applications
    • Git tooling that works with IBM i
    • Integrations with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps and GitHubs
    • Source Orbit for dependency management and application deployment
    • IBM i CI for connecting build systems and many IBM i LPARs together
  • IBM i Renderer (soon to be the Designer) for building display files (and maybe printer files!)
  • Node.js and dotnet applications
