In 1991-93 my firm decided to change VSE/SP with MVS; as the single System Programmer of my firm, I followed and managed this migration, writing, amongst the other things, a change management procedure in REXX/Assembly, to control the correct work-flow between development department and production. 
In this period I also developed HiLMAs, a macro-assembler language; by means of this, I wrote many utilities to help my daily work of System Programmer.

In 1996 my firm made a downsizing changing mainframe with an AS/400 machine; in 1996 also grew AIX/RS6000 and IBM SP2 as mission-critical machine; in this environment, I learned to use and manage Oracle (as DBA) and Unix.

I'm not married and  I can be interested  to leave Italy for a good and interesting job.
