Biography:
Peter Enrico has strong and diverse experience with the IBM zArchitecture platform, and a solid background in z/OS, Workload Manager, J2EE, WebSphere, Web Services, e-business applications, application architecture, Parallel Sysplex, and z/OS UNIX System Services. He also has a good deal experience with a variety of UNIX platforms, ERP applications, and distributed application architecture.
Peter has a well-rounded computing knowledge base, but he specializes in computer performance analysis, measurement, tuning, and capacity planning of large enterprise computing systems, subsystems, and e-business applications. Peter's abilities extend beyond just performance since he is considered a strong project manager. Peter has a reputation as a rounded technical project leader with the ability to get large complex projects under control. Last, but certainly not least, Peter is a highly qualified and effective seminar instructor and conference lecturer. He is known as someone that can explain complex computing concepts to wide audiences, including managers and executive, in an effective and easily understandable manner.
Peter started his career working for IBM as an MVS systems programmer and field tester of new MVS releases. From there, he worked for 5 years as a designer and developer on IBM's Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) product where he was responsible for a number of enhancements to data collection and reporting functions. Peter left RMF to become a member of the MVS Workload Manager algorithms design and development team for the initial WLM release. After this assignment, he worked as the lead performance analyst responsible for the overall performance of MVS/ESA Version 5.2, working with MVS system designers and developers to improve performance of this MVS release.
Peter returned to the WLM design and development team to work on WLM management of enclave workloads. In his next assignment, he was on the team responsible for porting SAP R/3 to the S/390 platform and for SAP R/3 performance benchmarking. Peter also did some SAP R/3 system development and porting work. His last assignment while working for IBM was with the team responsible for porting and benchmarking BaaN to OS/390 UNIX.
In 1997, Peter joined Watson and Walker, Inc. working under the direction of Cheryl Watson. Watson and Walker, Inc. is a well known and respected consulting company, which publishes the popular "Cheryl Watson's Tuning Letter". During his time with Watson and Walker, Inc. he worked with Cheryl developing OS/390 class and seminar materials, and as the managing editor and contributing author to the Cheryl Watson's Tuning Letter. Although no longer working directly for Watson and Walker, Inc., Peter still has a close association with Cheryl Watson.
Peter also has extensive experience porting UNIX applications (client-server) to the IBM OS/390 platform. In 1999 Peter led several major UNIX application and database porting efforts to the IBM OS/390 UNIX System Services platform. He has also led a number of performance design, evaluation and benchmarking efforts for applications on the OS/390 UNIX platform.
Peter Enrico now works as an independent systems and software performance consultant, seminar instructor, benchmarker, and software project manager and designer. Due to his diverse and unique set of skills, on a regular basis many customers, vendors, and even IBM, tap Peter's Workload Manager, WebSphere on z/OS, e-business, Parallel Sysplex, and UNIX Systems Services performance knowledge. Peter has published a variety of presentations and papers on these subjects.
Peter offers several highly regarded educational performance offerings and is considered a highly qualified and knowledgeable instructor. All of Peter's seminars get rave reviews from students.
Peter is a regular speaker at SHARE, IBM's zSeries Expo, both national and regional Computer Measurement Groups (CMGs), and variety of international conferences.
