The Role
IBM was where it all began. As a Web Developer at IBM France, I cut my teeth on enterprise technology during the exciting early days of the commercial internet. This was when companies were first figuring out what the web could do for business.
Working at IBM instilled fundamental engineering discipline: rigorous processes, documentation, and the importance of building systems that last.
