Business Systems Development Resume

SUMMARY

Seasoned IT professional with experience in design, development and implementation of a broad array of business and technical application systems.
I place strong emphasize on having exceptional skill working with CICS (Command and Macro). I am very proficient in COBOL and MVS Assembler languages and have delivered projects using DB2/SQL, VSAM, DL/1 and IMS/DB and MQ. Lengthy hands - on history using Intertest, TSO/ISPF, JCL, all IBM Utilities, Syncsort (batch and internal),
Fileaid, NDM and FTP, OMEGAMON, SPUFI and Xpediter. Have reasonable familiarity with REXX, EZTRIEVE and DB2 Tools. Working alongside Tech Ops, have also developed complex batch job streams using ESP, CA-7 and other schedulers.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential

Business Systems Development

Responsibilities:

We developed a Video Teleconferencing Application operating in a CICS region. Project evolved and expanded as client realized potential.
The software provides the ability to identify the conference participants, facilities and operating parameters. At the request and instruction of the designated Conference Leader, Simulated Terminals comprised of IBM PCs and Perle Communication Controllers construct Video and Data Streams intended to be shared among the other Conference Attendees.
These data streams are extracted at run time from Scanners, Still Image and Video Cameras and output from PC-based Apps. To broadcast this Content from Leader to Participants, I designed and developed Message Router/Conference Controller software in BAL running under CICS.
Each Conference location had real-time capability to shift in and out of Conference Leader Role and as Leader, send spreadsheets, Word documents, scanned/photographic images and Video/Photo feeds of local attendees to all of the other Conference participants.
Project was funded by and developed in cooperation with Hartford CT based Traveler’s Insurance Company in mid-1980s.

Business Systems Development

Responsibilities:

Objective was to move all Corporate activity from Atlanta to LA but with specific directive to provide GUI Interface in LA to existing legacy systems which were scheduled to remain in Atlanta Operations Center. Client required modernized front-end into heirloom mainframe systems that could seamlessly transition to Server-based environment. I led the Mainframe Team in creating layered application interface that accepted edited input and returned results from/to the new GUI application processors.
We deployed a dedicated 2-way MQ-like pipe between the Servers and a CICS Formatter/Router Region which was also responsible for formatting input and output TIOA screen buffers. This Region then acted as a pseudo terminal using a CICS/MRO feed to and from the existing legacy applications without any modification requirements to legacy code.
The resulting configuration had Atlanta retaining all backbone processing and LA DP Staff free to build or buy replacement software as applicable. The 2-way pipe could be connected to that replacement in whatever way they determined. This project was begun in mid-1989 and completed at the end of 1990.
