Dawn May Discusses Her Passion for Teaching IBM i by Paul Tuohy

In this edition of iTalk with Tuohy, Paul interviews former IBM Liaison Dawn May about her new endeavors as an IBM i consultant and her passion for teaching IBM i. Here are a few highlights of the interview:

"I had a fabulous career with IBM. I started out doing some tests and I went from tests down into licensed internal code development and communications. I did x25 and release 1 of the AS/400, but over the years I had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of the systems―from communications into work management and diagnostic tools, performance management―So I did a little bit of everything, it was fabulous. And I sort of decided, you know, I'd never been in the real world. I maybe should give that a try."

"You know that decision took me some time because I wasn't sure I wanted to venture out on my own, but I concluded yup, I want to be my own boss and do what I want to do. I've discovered with all the years I had in a development organization that I really like troubleshooting, finding problems, fixing problems. That was a big part of what I did when I worked at IBM in―several of the roles I had was to sort of modernize internal parts of the operating system―and I really liked when I worked with the performance area."

"There is certainly a lot of new people coming to the platform, general education about IBM i, why it's so wonderful, the wonderful things that it can do. I just think there's an opportunity to make people more aware of everything that they have when they work on this platform."
