Vice President / Database Administration

• Recognized as Subject Matter Expert SME for Disaster Recovery, new Project Engagement and Design, DB2 Utilities, Change Management, DB2 DBA Infrastructure, REXX and COBOL programming.
• Implemented several new DB2 Database projects from the design phase through production installation, including an Oracle to DB2 conversion, a large partitioned Database with QREP, MQ Shared Queue Databases, a Database for an application that used SAS, Databases with Java front ends and JDBC drivers, Databases with Websphere, DPROP Database and a Linux DB2 conversion.
• Served in leadership roles as Disaster Recovery Coordinator, Change Coordinator, Employee Engagement Champion and Project Manager overseeing design/implementation of DB2 DBA infrastructure and new projects/initiatives.
• Recruited to build and support z/OS DB2 database repository, to include scripting, design/analysis, installation, monitoring, maintaining, troubleshooting, and tuning z/OS DB2 databases. Successfully resolved complex technical issues and assignments within mission-critical deadlines. Completed project and design for DB2 STI team accountable for change coordination, DB2 relational database design, modeling, performance monitoring/improvement, and implementation of run time improvements. Performed code reviews, mentored team members, and facilitated meetings.
• Identified and implemented several large DB2 performance fixes and/or improvements for Application Databases supported captured 500K annual cost savings for MIPS and/or DASD usage.
• As Engagement and Design DBA for Shared Technology DB2 Team, personally served as Technical Engineer to analyze new projects and/or initiatives. Attended design meetings, completed initial analysis, and documented findings details of impacts/changes to DB2 Database Objects, JCL, Job Schedule, security, Disaster Recovery, DASD space or DB2 performance . If I was not implementing the project, document was turned over to a build DBA to use as a script.
• Successfully served as Department Change Coordinator managed and coordinated all Changes and Production Change Requests for Mainframe Database Department reviewed/approved new changes.
• Designed/implemented DB2 IVP checkout for 100 DB2 subsystems.
