Mike was on the ground floor at IBM, Digital Research, and finally MetaWare developing the first PowerPC compilers for IBM for both AIX and BSD platforms. With a working knowledge of MVS, JCL, CMS, and the HASM/370 environments of IBM, as well as the VAX, PDP, Unix, C environments of Bell Labs and UC Berkeley, Mike had the perfect background for IBM's transition from MVS to AIX, not only for the newly resurrected PowerPC AIX/RT platform, but for the ubiquitous AIX/370 mainframe platforms as well. Mike's collaboration with IBM continued for over a decade through 4 different employers.
