I started my independent consultant career in 1987 on the IBM System/38 doing custom RPG III development and also System/34,36 conversions to System/38. In 1988 I landed a contract working on one of the first AS/400's and have been exclusively working on the that platform ever since, no matter what the name changed to (iSeries, i5, Power Systems...) I am usually working two or three contacts concurrently but can limit to one if required/needed. I work on-site or remote whatever is required and can do design, project management, coding, testing, implementation.
