Vetted Ibm mainframe z/os developer in Brazil (UTC-3)

Hi, my name is Francisco, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you. I love playing and working with technology, and I still remember with joy the day when I ran my very first Fortran program—a lifetime ago. I started with Fortran IV G/H on IBM /370 mainframes in 1975, then moved on to Cobol, Basic, PL/I, ASM/370, Algol, Pascal, Lisp, ASM x86, C, dBase, Clipper, C++, Mathematica, REXX, VB, VBA, VBScript, HTML & CSS, Javascript, SQL, VB .Net, C# .Net, PHP, Perl, Python, MatLab, and others. I haven't stopped yet. Within Information Technology, I have done it all: from scientific programming to business systems; from operating systems (drivers and internals) to compiler development; from websites and online applications to automated trading systems; from macro languages' automation routines to neural networks and other machine learning algorithms; and many other things. I love learning new paradigms and have a very broad range of interests. Being older than most here gives me something invaluable: experience—and plenty of it. I'd love the chance to share it with you. Some of my most recent public work can be seen at the following websites: www.solcentral.com.br, fws.fortuna.com.br, and www.fortuna.com.br. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
