I am an IBM i (AS400) Developer and trainer with 4 years of professional experience in enterprise application development. I specialize in teaching IBM i (AS400) technologies, including RPGLE, CLLE, DB2 for IBM i, SQL, and enterprise application development. My objective is to help students build a strong technical foundation while preparing them for real-world industry requirements. I enjoy simplifying complex concepts and guiding learners toward becoming confident and job-ready IBM i professionals.

I have completed my Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), which provided me with a solid foundation in computer science and software development principles. Throughout my professional journey, I have worked extensively on enterprise applications, gaining practical experience in designing, developing, maintaining, and enhancing IBM i solutions. This hands-on industry exposure allows me to bring real-world examples and best practices into every training session.

My expertise includes ILE RPG programming in both Fixed Format and Free Format RPGLE, along with Embedded SQL, DB2 for IBM i, and CL/CLP programming. I have worked on multiple enterprise projects involving application development, database management, debugging, performance enhancement, and maintenance. By sharing practical insights from my industry experience, I help students understand not only how IBM i technologies work but also how they are applied in professional software development environments.

I conduct online training sessions designed for learners at different experience levels, from complete beginners to working professionals looking to upgrade their skills. My courses begin with the fundamentals and gradually progress to advanced ILE concepts, ensuring that every learner develops a clear understanding before moving on to more complex topics. I believe that a step-by-step learning approach helps students build confidence and master technical concepts effectively.

During my classes, I cover a wide range of topics, including Fixed Format and Free Format RPGLE, ILE concepts such as modules, service programs and binding, DB2 for IBM i, Embedded SQL, CL/CLP programming, physical and logical files, subprocedures, prototypes, error handling, debugging techniques, and real-world business scenarios. I use PowerPoint presentations to explain concepts in a structured manner and supplement the sessions with practical examples, coding exercises, and industry-based use cases to provide a comprehensive learning experience.

My goal is to help learners develop the technical expertise and confidence required to excel in IBM i (AS400) development careers. I believe that practical knowledge, consistent guidance, and hands-on practice are the keys to becoming a successful developer. Through interactive sessions, personalized support, and real-world project-oriented learning, I strive to equip every student with the skills needed to perform effectively in enterprise development environments and advance their professional careers.
