A mainframe maestro, or as he likes to call himself, a mainframe „fanboy“, Armin’s journey started over 30 years ago.
Starting out with Assembly and COBOL and then attempting to venture into Oracle, Java and SAS, Armin just couldn’t find it in himself to resist the charm of the mainframe world. We guess the old saying proves right here– you always go back to your first love.
He was a driving force behind the modernization of the mainframe at DATEV for over 14 years and has now joined the CROZ team at the beginning of 2025 to pass on the spirit of the modern mainframe. Also bringing a bit of prestige to the party, his role as an IBM Champion makes him the perfect person to transform the „old, boring mainframe“ as he puts it, into a lively show filled with passion, experience and knowledge.
