About this title

About the Author

David Stephens saw his first Mainframe in 1989, and can't seem to get away from them.
After graduating with an Engineering degree from the University of Tasmania, he spent
six months working as a Mainframe Network Operator before moving to z/OS Systems
Programmer.
Since then David has amassed over seventeen years of Mainframe technical experience -
working on almost every aspect of managing and operating Mainframes. He also has six
years experience working in Systems Software Development and Level 3 Software Support
for IBM.
When not working on Mainframes, David loves to travel the world, go walking for days in the wilderness,
scuba dive, or some combination of these. He'll also happily drink your red wine collection dry.
David currently works as a Systems Programmer Consultant with Longpela Expertise. He lives in Perth, Western
Australia.
