Welcome to War Games 1983  

We are dedicated to helping with IBM z/OS, Power Mainframe, and cloud solutions. As a company, we aim to engage with professionals, students, and advocates in a friendly community where we can share insights, resources, and support the continued growth of Mainframe technology—ensuring that workloads run on the right machine.

Personally, as an IBM Champion for the past three years, I have contributed to the Mainframe world through events and social media, and I am eager to share my technical expertise.

I founded War Games1983 Ltd and am building a talented team to support this growth.

Currently, I am part of the core team organizing the MainframerZ Meetup (London) and enjoy writing the MainframerZ newsletter. Recently, I launched “The Mainframe Book Club” podcast to help Mainframers identify the soft skills and resources they need to transition more easily between roles, and I have spoken with leading mainframe industry experts to help make this happen.

I am very fortunate to have been featured on various industry podcasts and to have been recognized by Planet Mainframe as one of 2025’s ‘Influential Mainframers,’ honoured for both technical innovation and community building.

The Mainframe community is built on collaboration, innovation, and support.

Whether you’re a seasoned mainframe professional, just starting your journey with z/OS or the Power Mainframe, or just simply curious about this powerful technology, War Games 1983 is your place to:

✅ Connect with peers and experts
✅ Stay updated on the latest trends and tools
✅ Learn, teach, and collaborate
✅ Celebrate the culture and future of mainframes

Join us in driving innovation, knowledge, and community in the world of IBM Z

War Games 1983 has launched with the aim of aligning my passion for supporting the Mainframe community—recognized through my IBM Champion status—with addressing the pain points we all know exist in the mainframe world. I am finalizing a number of agreements to provide services that will help tackle these challenges and support you. At War Games, we want to help you find the winning move. And if you need press releases, we can also help you maximize the impact of your presentations and posts.

As we formalise verbal agreements with signed legal contracts, we will share more services that we hope will benefit the Mainframe community.
