Tim Kaczynski is a seasoned software engineer and technical leader with 12+ years at IBM, currently focused on z/OS support while developing Kubernetes and OpenShift Operators for IBM Cloud and Cognitive Software. He blends deep mainframe expertise—z/OS, WebSphere for z/OS, HLASM, COBOL and PL/1—with modern cloud-native tooling such as Go, Knative, Camel-k, Flink, Kafka and Tekton. Tim has led cross-functional teams building telemetry backends, log anomaly detection, and integrations with observability platforms, delivering scalable systems and coordinating multi-timezone development. His work spans hands-on kernel and operator development to customer-facing technical support, reflecting a rare ability to bridge legacy enterprise systems and cutting-edge cloud architectures. An MS in Computer Science from Columbia and a background as a semi-professional violist hint at both analytical rigor and disciplined creativity.
