Summary

Thanks to my many years of experience on the iSeries, I am valued as a competent expert. This is also backed up by excellent references. My specialty is programming in all RPG and CLP variants, of course including ILE-RPG, Free-RPG and SQLRPGLE with and without embedded SQL. SQL stored procedures, SQL tables, service programs. I am also very familiar with the ILE concept. In addition, I am skilled in interface programming with various platforms. My knowledge of Cobol, Java, C/C++ and .NET rounds off my profile. I also have excellent knowledge of extracting/processing XML and C APIs such as Qp0zGetAllSysEnv (reading dirs), opendir, readdir, strerror and __errno, as well as reading from and writing to the IFS.

My programming style is clean and well documented, and therefore very easy for other programmers to read as well. Difficult tasks are a challenge for me, which I handle quickly, either on my own or in a team. In a team, I am always appreciated and welcomed because of my competent technical knowledge, creative ideas, and friendly manner.
