Developer Consultant Contractor
- I assisted the TSYS project team by supporting new contractors and new permanent full time staff with orientation, training, and project guidance.
- I updated and enhanced command level CICS programs to retrieve and send transaction data to the MQ server. We modified CICS COBOL code, maps and mapsets to support new business functionality, screens and CICS transactions.
- I worked with a team to develop new Maestro/Cirrus and MasterCard Pin Debit support for the TSYS real time MQ Server transaction message processing between TSYS and the new merchant group client that TSYS was beginning to support. This work involved creating design, development, and testing documents to be presented to the TSYS leadership and project management team. These documents showed the results related to the design and testing of the large and complex network of new and existing COBOL and ASSEMBLER programs. These programs accessed DB2, IMS, QSAM, files and reference tables.
- I developed the COBOL FNMS Audit Reporting for processing between FNMS, TSYS, and the VISA and Discover associations. This involved reading QSAM, VSAM, and DB2 files with multiple COBOL programs to create the reporting.

- I also performed analysis and testing to enable NYL to migrate document administration changes from their development environment to integration and quality control and production environments.
- This work was with windows based workstations using CSC's FUTUREfirst/AIA object oriented Graph-Talk development case tools and GDL programming languages. It also utilized Oracle database tables.
- These ACORD XML extracts assist New York Life with their policy benefit change BPM system initiative.
- I also developed solutions to deliver billing inquiry information to the NYL Pega system. I was involved with interfacing and working with off-shore resources to help them unit test the ACORD interface systems I developed.

- I coded and developed ACORD XML interface MQ server data packets using the CSC GDL language or GraphTalk Developer Language to create MQ server packet transmissions. This was for New York Life's implementation of the Pega Business Process Management BPM system interface between NYL's FUTUREfirst insurance processing system and Pega. This interface included development of holding and party searches to return policy, coverage, person, address, email, and phone information to Pega. This development supported multiple ACORD XML Inquiry Views for the data being transmitted.

Developer Consultant
- I worked on this 8 month contract with TSYS to enhance their credit card processing system. TSYS is one of the two largest credit card transaction processors in the U.S. I had to pass an extensive background check and drug screen to get the contract position. This was a large IT shop of 1000 developers and analysts with multiple IBM Z/0S system SYSPLEXes and LPARS.
- My program COBOL and ASSEMBLER coding work with TSYS involved completing 3 projects related to their purchase of the credit card acquisition business from First National Merchant Services. My job was to help enhance their entry run system to support additional credit card acquisition processing requirements. They process about 12 million of credit card transactions per day. My TSYS work utilized IBM mainframe programs in ASSEMBLER, COBOL, and CICS, with DB2, VSAM, and QSAM file structures. The coding and batch processing utilized ENDEVOR, JCL and TSYS SDLC development methodologies.
- I produced the TSY S SDLC deliverables including the technical documents at each phase or step in the process. This involved design documents, coding documentation, system changes, unit test plans, and test results summaries for the required SDLC reviews related to coding, unit testing, design and development walk-through presentations. These presentations described the system changes for screens, jobs, PROCs and batch JCL modifications. These were approved prior to the ENDEVOR promotion of the code to the next level of system testing environments.
The three projects I worked at the same time were as follows:
Data Differentiation.
- This project is an enhancement for the description of each transaction as it appears on the credit card statement. The merchant DBA name is being enhanced to show the merchant name, the merchant URL, the description of goods, the order number, or the service phone number depending on the right set of conditions. Program logic is different depending on the vendor, the association MC or Visa , and the transaction codes.
- Pin Debit Interchange
- This project implements the capability of the TSYS system to perform qualification and interchange rate charge calculations for pin debit card transactions. Prior to now, TSYS did not calculate or charge interchange on pin debit card transactions. This new logic determines the interchange rate based on the network Interlink, Cirrus , the Durbin regulated indicator, the Merchant Category Code Airline, Fast Food, Hotel and so forth and the Association. The interchange rate is set by declaring an IQSTA key that is used to look up a DB2 table that contains the appropriate interchange rates.
ACH as a Transaction
- This project adds the capability of the TSYS entry run capture and authorization system to read in two types of transactions to process ACH bank transactions through the credit card system. New edits were added to support validation of the bank numbers, the routing numbers, the pre-note amounts, and many other new reject codes.
- The three projects all involved maintaining and changing one of the largest and most complex TSYS assembler programs in their system IERBD046 . It contained over 50,000 lines of code in the one program that was managed with assembler macros for the sub routines.

- I performed analysis of Allstate's complex Life/70 COBOL, CICS and ASSEMBLER insurance systems and interfaces to design technical solutions, modify code, test and promote the modified code to Allstate's integration test, quality assurance, and production computer environments. This resulted in code changes to Allstate's life and health individual and group insurance system. I am implemented solutions for Allstate that involved fixing problems with their IBM COBOL and Assembler - Z/OS Mainframe Life/70 insurance system. This was to implement and enhance the computer support for a major new life insurance product they called Good for Life GFL . I used VSAM files, JCL, Abend-Aid, IBM Debugger, File-Aid, and a tool called Tracker to manage the projects through the Allstate SDLC and SOX development life cycle.
- During the period of this project I worked on multiple tasks and managed my time appropriately for each task and project.
- Allstate uses the IBM tool SCLM for program source configuration management and code maintenance. I learned how to use this tool and utilized it throughout the life of the project.
- I coached other developers to help them complete their part with coding and testing.
- I provided task estimates and projected completion dates to supervisors and clients for the work required to complete this project. The project was coded, tested and delivered to the integration and quality assurance test team on time and was promoted for production implementation. I provided technical support during the quality assurance testing which is one of the last steps for Allstate's project life cycle methodology they call their Technology Solutions Project Management Framework . I completed the required documentation and filled out the forms required by their life cycle methodology and procedures.
- I communicated the technical issues to the business analyst and clients by utilizing Allstate's required technical specification forms and tables.
- I attended client meetings and reviewed Allstate's business requirements documents to understand their needs and I completed technical analysis related to their requirements. My technical analysis resulted in designs for the best solution selected from several alternatives that resulted in code modifications I applied to Allstate's Life/70 system. The analysis included analyzing data on their database to determine the best solution for their needs. As a result, their system was modified to properly handle premium payments, premium reversals, month-a-versary, billing and other financial processing for their GFL product.
- This Life/70 system work involved working with complex file structures with fixed and variable repeating trailer structures imbedded in large QSAM and VSAM files.
