At MLR Consulting, I don’t just work with systems – I collaborate with businesses to unlock strategic value from their IBM i environments. With a strong foundation in system optimization, secure infrastructure, and legacy modernization pathways, MLR Consulting bridges the gap between technical stability and business agility.
From high-throughput transactional systems to modern API integration layers, I can help your infrastructure become future-ready without losing the reliability it was built on. Whether you’re navigating a digital transformation or just need someone who understands the nuance of enterprise systems, this is where we can start the conversation.
In a world chasing trends, the IBM i remains the unsung hero of enterprise computing, known for its reliability, security, and performance at scale. It’s not legacy – it’s “legendary”. Businesses still rely on IBM i transactional systems to run mission-critical operations because they work consistently, securely, and efficiently.
But that doesn’t mean they cannot evolve.
At MLR Consulting, I help you leverage the power of IBM i in modern contexts – from microservices and APIs to cybersecurity hardening and hybrid cloud strategies. The platform’s deep value lies not just in what it can do, but in how efficiently and securely it continues to do it – year after year.
The platform’s true value isn’t in being replaced.
It’s in being repositioned – at the heart of a secure, modern enterprise architecture.
Every company is different, but the problems they face often rhyme: system blind spots, outdated documentation, lack of scalability, or hidden technical debt. That’s where I step in. Through MLR Consulting, I’ve helped organizations document the undocumented, build custom tooling for system visibility, implement smart escalation processes, and prepare for multi-client workloads without compromising service levels.
Whether it’s improving or implementing your DevOps pipelines for IBM i, integrating modern RESTful APIs practices with RPG or .NET layers, or simply creating clarity for your C levels to explain on their language terms, I bring a technical lens matched with a enterprise business experienced mindset.
It’s not just about code – it’s about continuity, clarity, and confidence in your systems and knowing how to leverage the best parts of these systems in the technical landscape.
You’re not just hiring someone to “keep the green screen running.” You’re getting a strategic partner who sees the whole picture in the enterprise where the IBM i plays to its strengths.
My approach blends technical depth with systems thinking, shaped by hands-on experience across critical production environments, consulting with multinational teams, and driving transformation on a global stage.
I speak both CIO and ILE. From IBM MQ choreography, SOAP/REST services on IWS & systems performance optimization, to replacing rigid legacy logic with modular, maintainable solutions.
I don’t just maintain the status quo. I question it, refine it, and replace it when needed.
Because “that’s how it’s always been” isn’t a strategy its the slow poison that costs lots in the long run.
Sometimes the problem isn’t obvious. I’ll help you assess your current IBM i landscape and recommend the smartest next steps.
Let’s make your systems more powerful, reliable, and future-ready, without overhauling everything.
