SUMMARY:

• With more than 30 years in the information technology industry, I have a wide range of experience providing mainframe development expertise, specifically in the areas of developing, documenting, coding, modifying, testing and implementing complete business technology solutions.
• My commitment to customer satisfaction, confidence, attention to detail, and ability to grasp concepts quickly are proven strengths.
• My most recent assignment was for Confidential in Confidential, Texas. While there, I developed new scripts and maintained existing scripts using the Confidential scripting language.
• Prior to that assignment, I worked at Confidential in California as their Model 204 DBA. I repaired several system parameters which greatly improved overall system performance.
• I wrote recommendations for file performance improvements which will be implemented as time and resources permit.
• These activities involved extensive live communication with client management with whom I developed an excellent rapport.
• I was also entirely responsible for all development and maintenance of Confidential programs using Model 204’s Host Language Confidential, using TSO/ISPF.
• Previously, I worked for over a decade at the Confidential serving in many capacities including programmer/analyst; Confidential consultant for the High School Applications System; program optimization; and supervision (including design) of the Web (client/server) Confidential to the mainframe - based Automate the Schools ( Confidential ) system. All of these activities involved frequent communication (written and oral) with client management, end-user community, and programming staff.
• I have been commended for my ability to work with others at all levels but I also work quite well alone. Both modes require that I communicate effectively and use good project coordination skills especially since I am frequently called upon to multi-task.
