Frank Kyne

Frank describes himself as a ‘true Mid-Atlanicer’ — he was born in New York, spent half his life in Ireland, and the other half in the Northeast of the US, resulting in an average of half-way across the Atlantic Ocean.



His first IT job was as an operator in an insurance company in Ireland. Over the subsequent 20 years he became a VM system programmer, then joined IBM Ireland as an MVS system programmer, and then worked in IBM’s fledgling Services organization before moving to IBM’s Redbooks group in Poughkeepsie as a project leader for sysplex Redbooks.
