Blair Wyman

Blair Wyman started with IBM Rochester in 1988, working in the Systems Evaluation area testing V1R2. Blair then moved into the System Licensed Internal Code (SLIC) where he worked on the Optimizing Translator component and MI Transformer components as part of the effort to introduce the Integrated Languages Environment (ILE).

Later, when Java was first being introduced to the AS/400, Blair designed and implemented the Java Native Interface (JNI) on AS/400, and then helped develop the Remote Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT). Since V5R2 Blair has been working on a variety of projects, while remaining involved with Java, and is currently involved in rolling out information about the new IBM Technology for Java VM, being introduced to System i5 in V5R4.

Blair has a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, and an M.S. in Computer Science from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. For fun, Blair enjoys playing the guitar, and loves a good game of foosball.
