Biographical Sketch: Scott has been a programmer since the 6th grade. His love for technical details got him involved with performance testing a mainframe CICS-DB2 application that is the largest application AEP has ever developed. Over a decade ago, that experience led to him becoming responsible for mainframe performance and capacity, a role which allows him to continually seek out improvements in both application and system performance. But he never stopped being a programmer. He has been paid to write code for everything from PCs to an IBM System/36 system to IBM mainframes to cell phones. He has a particular passion for data visualization and has built multiple custom presentations of both historical and real-time mainframe performance data using web technologies. Scott is a frequent speaker at the Computer Measurement Group and the Central Ohio Mainframe Users Group.
