SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Responsibilities:

• I have designed and coded ZOS Batch and Online IBM 3090 COBOL data retrieval module for connecting with an ISeries (AS400) via XML and HTTPS. This is the first time the IBM 390 mainframe system communicated with the AS400. SAS was used for pulling data from tapes for analysis and reporting.
• S:The IBM mainframe is now able to retrieve clam history records from AS400 iseries via HTTPS call and XML messages.

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Responsibilities:

• CVS’s Support Systems project team built an automated SOX Audit and billing system for the United States Government (CMS) MED D prescription drug program. We designed the Sox Audit process to make sure every MED D Medicaid claim billed by CVS was sent and correctly charged to the government’s MED D drug program. We generated monthly billing statements. We performed weekly billing reconciliation plus billing adjustments.
• The project team consisted of (4) Senior programmers, (2) Business Units, and (2) Testers who aided in design, coding, testing, and installation. The tools used for development were COBOL and Assembler for processing, DB2 for SQL querying and “ad hoc” reporting and CICS for online processing and End User screen interface. We documented programs and program changes using the CMMI/SDLC development methodology, which includes aiding our Business Unit in creating Business Requirement Statement (BRS) documents as well as High Level Detail Design (HLD) documents.
• We used IBM’s File Manager to view contents of VSAM, DB2, and Sequential files. We used SPUFI to query contents of DB2 Databases. We used IBM utilities programs like IDCAMS, IEBGENER, and SYNCSORT to create JCL for job scheduling.

SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Responsibilities:

• Our Systems Support Team built (1) a Medicaid Claims billing system, (2) a Medicaid Claims Pricing system, and (3) a Medicaid claims Tape archival system for CVS’s Pharmaceutical Benefit Management (PBM) division. We designed the system to support WEB portal bill presentment using MQ series as middleware between mainframe and WEB Client Servers. CICS screen were created for Call center and customer service support to handle billing inquiries.
• S:Created a 2 terabyte Pharmaceutical Claims database
• The old system only retained 12 months of claim history before claims had to be archived off to tape. The new system holds up to 20 years of billing and claims history online. Customers are now able to view all claims and prescriptions over a WEB portal for up to 20 years. This created tremendous customer loyalty.

Responsibilities:

• The Drug Analysis team, in the Pfizer department, provided statistical analysis reports (using SAS, COBOL, and DB2) of prescription written by doctors or health care providers.
• We converted SAS programs to COBOL and DB2 to automate reporting and client billing. We finalize forms, procedures, and other documentation needed for the installation and maintenance of application programs.
• S:Converted all SAS based programs to COBOL.
• System performance increased tremendously. Mainframe response time reduced from 15 seconds a query to 1 second a query.
