SUMMARY:

Having being part of the workforce at various levels does provide a unique perspective when one is assigned the responsibility of managing others. My 29 plus years of experience in the workforce with well over 15 of those years in some form of managerial position meets or exceeds the experience requirements. Expanding on the requirements it bears mentioning that searching for software/hardware solutions have been an integral part of my responsibilities. It is therefore my hope and desire that after reviewing my qualifications, I am afforded the opportunity of an interview for the position.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Senior Programmer Analyst / DB Analyst

Confidential, Phoenix, AZ

Responsibilities:

• My job description covers a wide range, from programming as well as operations and system tuning and one key element...training on newer and more advanced technologies. Initially the main focus will be that of enhancing / improving system performance on the I-Series. Making provision for the other aspects to also be implemented. We know that as a company there will be many challenges to face. We also know that unless we plan to face and conquer those challenges, we will be planning to fail when the challenges do occur. It is a fact that it is not a matter of if, but a matter of when the challenges do present themselves. It is my vision to provide guidance when it is needed as well as following established norms when required. I am a firm advocate of the team environment and an ardent follower of General Stanley Mc Chrystal’s concept of team of teams.

• In the capacity of Senior Programmer/Analyst I was charged with the responsibility of software analysis in order to provide a comprehensive solution to the problem at hand. Said solution could be as simple as a one line modification or as complex as total program re-write. The main goal at my position was to provide transition on the existing Legacy code to a code geared towards efficiency and ease of maintenance. It is within my job description to conduct training seminars when it was deemed appropriate.

Consultant / Project Manager

• As a consultant I was directly responsible for managing resources assigned to me. Said resources were for the most part human assets (programmers). On that capacity I had to provide direction to junior programmers, assist senior level programmers if and when they requested assistance. Provide regular status updates to the steering committee or upper management. Ensure that the project or projects remain on target and on time. The range of managed resources were from as little as two or as many as ten per project. It was not unprecedented that some of the managing was directed at working with users and scheduling their training on the new or modified aspect of the operation.

• Maintenance of existing Construction Management software for the construction industry. Responsibilities included maintenance of their Legacy code as well as interaction with the client base. This interaction was divided between code modification with enhancements as well as creating new modules to be added to the base code. The client base was comprised of a combination of fairly large accounts as well as mid size to small accounts. All modifications were to adhere to strict documenting guidelines both in the program as well as addendums to the test scripts.
• Responsibilities included maintenance of the code and provide direction to other members of the group when it was deemed appropriate. The system was designed in such a way that the leadership role would change from one project to the next based on the area of expertise that was required at the time. Members of the group was five most of the time but it could grow to twice the amount depending on the urgency attached to the task at hand.

Consultant (Project Leader)

Confidential,AZ

• Responsibilities included program maintenance of the existing code with more portable code such as embedded SQL. Create custom code as well as maintain it when requested by the clients. Analyzed Requirement Specifications documentation, Functional Specification Document, User Interface Specifications to develop and Execute Test scripts.
• Verified the flat files as well relational data base files by using SQL and Queries in the source system as well as in the test environment. Used a quasi live environment to test the generated data with cross references to the source systems. Data integrity was crucial and in the test phase it was a requirement that all levels of the data would have a perfect match. This was also part of the test script generated for the specific application. This group of people were six in total. It was not my responsibility to direct or guide them. However if and when then the moment came to pass, I was to take over the task and see it to completion.
