Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSean Perry is an application developer with five years of professional experience building enterprise software at IBM and a background in computer software engineering from the University of Michigan–Dearborn. He focuses on C/C++ compiler development across z/OS, AIX, and Linux, contributing to the high-profile LLVM project by adding z/OS support, handling platform-specific headers, and resolving test and code-page conversion issues. At IBM he blends front-end skills (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) and BPM with back-end Java and C++ development, enabling cross-layer solutions for complex systems. His earlier management experience running operations like payroll and hiring gives him a practical leadership lens when integrating technical work into business processes. Colleagues appreciate that he bridges legacy mainframe platforms and modern toolchains, a less obvious strength that makes him effective in enterprise migration and tooling efforts.
