PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

SENIOR PROGRAMMER ANALYST, Confidential

  • Modified CICS/DB2 and batch programs to process up to 30 periods of Beneficiary Medicare Advantage Reduction Data, ending the discrepancy with Social Security Administration.
  • Enhanced CICS program EDBOTABM and map to indicate archived data. This maintained existing functionality while improving processing time.
  • Developed Interface Control Documents for Fanout process to improve Capability Maturity Model Integration CMMI .

SENIOR PROGRAMMER ANALYST, Confidential

  • Enhanced online annulment and abolishment CICS/DB2 programs plus their corresponding back-out programs for the Hours of Service Project. New regulations required limiting hours worked, based upon time of day worked, rest time, and hours worked since rest. For annulment and abolishment, table rows were deleted for projected work hours. Table rows were reinserted if reversed before the nightly batch cycle.
  • Modified Paperless Time Ticket System holiday pay approval logic to prevent deletion of holiday pay which caused incorrect pay and corrective work. I worked with the user to define the process, obtain current examples and identify the cause. I modified stored procedure PTS01M26 correcting holiday pay.

SENIOR PROGRAMMER ANALYST, Confidential

  • Developed, tested, installed and maintained the mainframe interface to Loan Selection Tool System LST . The mainframe side of LST is a COBOLII/DB2 system automating the final loan sale. LST created a streamlined loan acquisition and securitization process that allowed increasing loan sales and tracking the funding for individual loans. LST provided the basis to secure loan funding through the recent credit crisis.
  • Enhanced existing CICS/DB2 online and COBOLII/DB2 batch programs to capture all potential Private Credit Loss events. The captured events were used by a data warehouse for management reporting and predictive modeling and analytics. The objective was to reduce over 600 million in currently reported potential losses.
  • Removed collection, returned item, legal and forbearance fees required by Department of Education DOE to be excluded from their loans. Corrected transfer process to write off fees and ensure the fees were zero.

SENIOR DEVELOPER, Confidential

  • Enhanced online CICS/DB2 and batch programs using XPEDITER to analyze current processing and verify modifications during unit testing for the Cross-company Selling Project. Communicated with various levels of information systems staff to analyze, develop and implement the enhancements. This project allowed multiple companies to sell a product while only one company maintained the product in inventory.
  • Standardized approximately 60,000 addresses in the existing VSAM Fraud File using Finalist, which was called through a COBOLII program that I wrote. Also, I loaded the standardized fraud addresses into new DB2 tables using a COBOLII/DB2 program. These changes increased the accurate identification of fraudulent addresses, thereby increasing profit. While testing the standardization program, I found existing fraud addresses that had been changed by Finalist. I determined that all customer addresses would need to be periodically updated with Finalist in order to keep existing addresses current.
  • Responsible for the setup and running of the initial Daily Job Flow Test at the new onsite processing center. Copied files and DB2 tables ran mass binds modified the JCL and PROC Libraries for testing and, added modifications for the Kit and Component Project. This enabled testing and installation of the modifications for this project, a major system enhancement that included high profit sales.

Converted the original, system, which used IMS databases to DB2 for Client and Policy databases, while retaining IMS for the sales database.
  • Completed projects prior team was unsuccessful with, including, writing, improving function and reliability of a 2D Bar Coding Project. Analyzed the original IMS database subsystem and modified the DB2 replacement subsystem to reflect changes made to the original subsystem during testing and implementation. Converted name and address from free format to fixed format. Tested the CICS, DB2, VSAM, and COBOLII code commands. Used a top-down testing technique using XPEDITER to walk through the COBOLII commands to verify the results viewed the data before executing the CICS, DB2, and VSAM commands viewed the data after executing the commands and checked the return codes from those commands. Independently analyzed customer requirements and coordinated analysis and design changes with the customer and other software developers developed design changes to the name and address display for the 2D bar code project to bring the company into compliance with state regulations.
  • Changed Maryland's FR-19 form processing from the existing IMS database system to the new DB2 database system. Modified programming logic that was written in COBOLII using structured programming techniques in an IBM mainframe environment. Modified code to increase maximum vehicles allowed to nine. Corrected vehicle coverage and lien holder for vehicles four through nine. Enabled police department to read insurance cards through sophisticated computer technology.
