hi! i'm claire!
i'm a software engineer in new york's hudson valley. today, i work at IBM, where i develop and maintain the z/TPF operating system that powers critical transactions across the world.
publications & patents
this IBM redbooks publication is a primer on z/TPF's security capabilities, from the very guts of its process model, to its cryptographic agility capabilities for the future.
this patent is about a database where data is stored on a remote system, without the application knowing or caring where the data physically lives. the applications using this database can't take the latency hit from network comms, so we can't send data to another system synchronously. instead, we kick off a process that updates the remote database for us.
talks
i talked about how to use z/TPF support for MongoDB, which is z/TPF's answer to legacy database access through an industry-standard interface from distributed systems.
blogs
i wrote about z/TPFDF, the database management system for z/TPF. the concepts might seem a little foreign to someone that's only seen sql and modern nosql databases - here's how to get a grasp on how to define and use z/TPFDF databases.
