Technical Project Manager

Responsibilities:

• Assembled requirements, developed, tested and deployed a REXX applications which:
• Automated the manual compiling and deploying of mainframe PL/SQL and COBOL Stored Procedures.
• Generated JCL which will used to UNLOAD, LOAD, BACKUP and COMPARE CPG databases. CPG database portfolio consists of 16 test-2 prod databases consisting of 185 tables.
• Assembled requirements, developed, tested and deployed COBOL applications using DB2 z/OS, JCL, TSO, Control-M
• Introduction to the CPG mainframe development and support staff the TOPAZ Workbench and ISPW change control platform which replaced the ChangeMan change control platform.
• Developed, tested and deployed IBM Persuasive Encryption (PE) against DB2 z/OS database.
• Developed PYTHON programs to assist in processing, collecting and organization of meta-data to be used as source input to a D3.js application.
• Upgrading the Performance Test environments.
• Managing the uplift and migration from Tier5 (significant) to Tier2 (important) application classification.
• Organization and facilitation of weekly meetings of the mainframe development and support staff.
• Introduced to the CPG testing staff the Tableau Desktop data analysis and visualization tool. This tool was used to help the staff learn, adopt and adjust how they approach QA/Regression testing principles and practices.
• Developed, tested and deployed ETL scripts from DB2 z/OS database used as input to the Tableau tool and the setup and maintenance of the data content of the test databases
• Developed, tested and maintained test scripts for all test environments. Test environments consist of JAVA, z/OS Mainframe and Linux platforms
• Organization and facilitation of meetings with application and database staff which planned, reviewed, and determined the direction of the testing to be executed with appropriate review of test results.

Technical Project Manager/Sr. Technical Lead

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Instrumental in developing and deploying new merchant database. This required new SPs and additional modifications of existing SPs to support new merchant database.
• Deployment of new merchant database required new and modifications to existing Linux Shell Scripts. These scripts used delta flat files received on a daily and bi-weekly basis to update the merchant database.
• The execution of the Shell Scripts was performed via the scheduling tool Control-M. It was my responsibility to setup (create and modify) schedules to support the receiving and processing of the delta flat files.
• Verified accuracy and file content by developing Shell Scripts to perform auditing of the incoming delta flat files.
• Used Linux Shell Scripts to facilitate file management procedures, thus reducing the manual effort and file validation procedures.
• Perform ongoing project management/leadership, development and support for database related projects.
• Development, Testing and Deployment of:
• SPs and Functions
• DDL’s that supported tables, views, indexes and other related database objects
• Shell Scripts to support delta flat file processing
• Control-M schedule modifications
• SQL used to assist and support all tasks related to the Development, Testing and Deployment
• Ongoing production support as required.

Technical Project Manager

Responsibilities:

• Instrumental in developing and executing POC (proof of concept) for Data Masking and De-Identification support tool using COBOL and JCL to extract and format data content.
• Quickly acquired knowledge and understanding of data masking-de-identification tool named File-Aid Data Solution (mainframe) and File-Aid EX (client (windows)-server (Linux)).
• Integrated COBOL masking technologies into building of development test environments resulting in the compliance with corporate directives related to not having exposed personal data in the test environments.
• Developed and ensured SLA for masking files were within 24-48 hrs. using JCL and ZEKE scheduling.
• Verified accuracy and file content by developing JAVA programs to perform auditing of the incoming files.
• Used Linux Shell Scripts to facilitate file management procedures, thus reducing the manual effort and file validation procedures.
