Tiger Team Chief Architect, Integration — IBM

This blog is my notebook. In here I will put quick minor things that I have found out how to do, longer articles on how to do more challenging things and other ramblings about tech usually in the API space.

By day I am the IBM Integration Tiger Team Chief Architect — brought in to critical customer situations to resolve complex problems with IBM Integration. With 19 years at IBM and a career built entirely around integration, I have accumulated rare depth across the full integration stack, from mainframe development through service governance, five years delivering API Connect implementations, and seven and a half years in IBM's SWAT and Tiger Team. I authored the IBM API Connect WhitePaper used by deployment teams worldwide and share field learnings here and back into IBM's engineering teams. A practitioner who shares what he learns, I am as comfortable in the field as I am in the engineering lab.

By evening I am father of four amazing girls and a keen board gamer.

By night I am a partial insomniac who likes to play with crazy tech ideas.

You are also an awesome brother to three awesome siblings (feel free to quote me in your bio!) — Lucy Phillips

My home lab consists of an OpenShift environment running home automation systems to control my house.
