I began my career as a software engineer writing code primarily in IBM 390 assembler but also in PLI, and REXX too. The team I was on developed tools for servicing Amdahl's mainframe products.
Eventually my career took a strategic change when I focused on making the tools we were generating more useful for our internal corporate customers. In that capacity I took on support and operational responsibilities as well as internal customer relations.
