Mainframe modernisation expert and DevOps Enthusiast and Evangelist.Using my 30+ years of experience in Mainframe software development and modernisation to help devise and promote the Micro Focus messaging around the Journey to DevOps for Enterprise IT organisations.Working with pre-sales, service delivery, Product Management and Marketing teams to engage with customers old and new. Helping them envisage a path to adoption of modern development tooling and processes, as their first steps towards, or continuation of their Journey to Enterprise DevOps.I can be often found on stage at conferences and Micro Focus corporate events extolling the virtues of a pragmatic rather than purist approach to DevOps, which is at the heart of the Micro Focus DevOps message, and which I firmly believe better meets the demands of modern Enterprises.
