Senior Analyst Resume Profile

Summary

In January of 2014 I decided to test the waters of early retirement. Unfortunately it turned out to be a lesson that showed me I needed to work another 6 to 8 years to assure I can do so comfortably. It also reminded me I love what I do for a living and actually want to go back to work.
I can assure you my 25 years of mainframe experience makes me confident I can hit the ground running in any environment. You will not regret bringing me on board. If you are experiencing CICS or Databse problems you will be even gladder you brought me on board.
Able to relocate quickly upon accepting an offer. Have often rented an apartment near the client site, Thanking you in advance for your time consideration.
