Job History

Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector, Austin, TX JUN 1997 JUN 2012

Engineer IT Software III

I spent majority of my time in Motorola's Supply Chain/Planning Systems arena working as the senior programmer on the Austin specific version of Motorola's Material Requirements Planning MRP System that was developed in-house. This assignment consisted of on call support for over 100 batch jobs on the IBM OS/390 MVS mainframe as well as working with users to investigate any problems or concerns they had with the data they were provided with by the MRP system. This position required extensive use of the COBOL/COBOL II programming languages, Endevor code control, CA7/11, configuration management, TSO/ISPF development environment, VSAM file and access methods IDCAMS , batch FTP jobs, and IBM utilities, and OS JCL. This software development process/environment was in accordance with SEI/CMM level 3. Some of the MRP data was pushed down to non MVS mainframe systems such as SUN E10000 enterprise server running Solaris, RS6000 running AIX, and IBM OS/390 running VM.

IS Specialist

Programmer on Lockheed Martin Aeronautical System's Company LMASC Methods Improvement Program MIP team whose goal was to bring all phases of F22 computer-aided design to the engineers' desktop under a graphical user interface GUI with direct access to all computing resources using client/server technology. 200 X-terminals were connected through 13 HP-9000/755 PA-RISC workstations networked to an IBM 3090, CONVEX C3880 and VAX via FDDI. Computer applications were presented using a seamless point and click environment thereby shielding engineers from vendor specific commands e.g. UNIX, IBM JCL, and VAX DCL . Development of this interface and associated code on HP 9000/755 workstations running HP-UX makes extensive use of OSF/Motif X-windows/XLib and C programming language. Half time was spent porting IBM MVS legacy programs FORTRAN and ASSEMBLER to HP UNIX workstations FORTRAN and C . Remaining time was spent developing database applications under Oracle Ver 7 and Oracle Forms Ver 4 in support of F22 Structures engineering group.
