Meet 'Mombo' of IBM Cloud

When Mombo first joined the #IBMCloud team, he arrived with the clothes on his back and his motorcycle. Now, he runs our Cloud Innovation Labs across North America, including Thunderdome which contains some of the fastest cloud tech on earth.

Mombo says that like his motorcycle, cloud isn't all about speed. Learn why IBM Cloud is the market leader in high-value cloud for business.

My first job, I start on my 20 year birthday at my local IBM service buro, just one year after men landed on the moon. Clients where mostly multinational companies, I was the youngest starting as an operator on IBM 360/40, with an engineer diploma in a frame, a good knowledge of how computers works, fluent in english, reading thick books and able to write programs. Even in 1401 assembler, I quickly move to write applications for the backlog of these customers pushing them to migrate to 360/20. My first one was a sorting program (counting path) that take less than lunch time, as before with a card sorting machine 2 days / 2 guys, imagine it really works straightforward, such a joy. Retired now, I do my own research on keywords networks, I would love to test my mobile applications on powerfull Cloud servers. Cheers Mombo
