Lead Programmer Analyst

Spearheaded efforts on our HIPAA project. Represented our team as the subject matter expert (SME) for Claimfacts, our health claims system.
Attended inter-departmental meetings to discuss project requirements, progress, concerns, testing and implementation.
Did all of the analysis for changes required to facilitate implementation, which included numerous programs and jobs throughout the system.
I wrote the specs and worked with off-shore resources throughout the development and testing phases to ensure that we would meet project requirements.
I also made programming changes and did the testing on the accounting portion of the project.
Project was implemented successfully with no interruption to normal business operation and only a few reported problems that were easily fixed.
Provided training in my areas of expertise: our health claims system, our Valuation reserves system & Policy Exhibit subsystem.
Conducted high-level classes for in-house and off-shore resources in order to provide an overview that would improve their ability to make system changes and address production problems.
Acted as the team representative and principle programmer on an actuarial initiative to extract information from various subsystems, in order to create a company-wide database for upper management.
I performed much of the analysis for the extract creation and raised concerns when I thought the information they were asking for wasn’t going to meet final project objectives.
Led the programming effort to increase the monies automatically applied by our daily bank payment processing programs. The effort resulted in a 25%+ increase in applied premium and a significant reduction in the amount of time required by clerks to apply these monies manually.
Worked with end-users to implement desired changes and provide additional reports, allowing them to see how payments would be applied, which led to further increases in the amount of premium applied programatically.
This effort required analysis of a number of programs and jobs across various subsystems, in order to accommodate the new payments.
I made much of the programming changes and worked with a teammate who lead the effort to make changes on the PC side. The project was completed on-time, with no reported problems.
Responsible for our in-house post Y2K break year update involving almost 100 programs written in COBOL, DYLAKOR and assembler.
Identification of changes throughout all mainframe programs, coding, testing, coordination of changes in our Unit Test and Model Office environments, lead to a successful production implementation with few issues reported.
Spearheaded the programming effort on an actuarial initiative to move universal life reserve reporting from one reserve system (Valuation) to another (ARCVAL).
Based on actuarial requirements, performed the analysis, design, coding, testing and implementation of this effort.
This effort allowed the actuaries to meet company wide requirements to streamline reporting from multiple of business units.
Supported our service center in creating Dashboard reports required for company reporting purposes.
I did the analysis, design, testing and implementation of changes required to 24 jobs and 22 programs.
Updates involved modifications to existing Cobol, Dylakor and Assembler programs as well as writing new ones. Implementation was successful with no reported issues.
Worked with 10+ subject matter experts in various IT areas in order to update existing system documentation and understand the interconnections between the mainframe, external vendors and other in-house systems. The goal was to identify servers and files, where HIPAA data was being stored. This initiative was necessary to meet HIPAA mandated system requirements.
