Meet Today’s Architect: Paolo Enrique Garcia Ramos

Help engage the next generation of enterprise computing leaders

Driven by a passion for technology and innovation, Paolo has dedicated more than a decade to the mainframe ecosystem. As the leader of Interbank’s mainframe team in Lima, Peru, he plays a vital role in ensuring seamless, secure transactions that keep customers connected to the services they rely on every day.

For those new to the IBM Z community, Paolo serves as a trusted guide, connecting members with the latest technical resources, educational opportunities, and expert insights available through the IBM Z and LinuxONE Community and the IBM Mainframe Skills Depot.

Every year we host IBM Z Skills Fest — a free, week-long virtual event that opens the door to mainframe technology for students and early professionals who might never have encountered it otherwise.

This year, from August 3 to 7, take advantage of a summer skills and employability accelerator designed for students, early-career professionals, and lifelong learners.

Does your organization rely on IBM Z and LinuxONE? Or do you know a student eager to explore a career in technology?
