EMPLOYMENT HISTORY:

November 2014 to Current Amazon Fulfillment.

Developing skills in the area of Inventory control and Order processing.

September 2013 to September 2014 Researcher for Mentor Demographics. Oxford, PA.

Research into the use of internal systems utilizing incumbent software while integrating modern

technology to maintain and correlate statistical information. This effort includes reviewing detail

requirement documents, job flows, data flows, and record counts from all sources.

September 2012 to August 2013 Programmer for Social Security Administration, Woodlawn

MD.

Enhancing and new development of an internal system using COBOL with VSAM/MADAM to

format SSA and Medicare notices to SSA/SSI recipients. This effort includes reviewing detail

requirement documents to complete a plan of code changes. I also perform Unit testing and

regression testing of changes and assist in Quarterly Release testing. In between projects I am also

involved with resolving ongoing production problems, along with producing daily and monthly

reports advising other department of work completed during each production run.

November 2008 to September 2012 Principle Programmer for General Dynamics IT, Towson,

MD.

Enhancing and new development of Medical Claim routing for Medicare claims. This effort

includes reviewing high level analysis and detail requirement documents to complete a plan of code

changes. I also perform Unit testing of changes and assist in Quarterly Release testing This testing

utilized Xpeditor for tracking data as it flowed through the Cobol programs. In between projects I

am also involved with resolving ongoing production problems. I also assisted others in the group to

solve DB2 problems that they encounter during their assigned work tasks.

• Supporting the Coordination of Benefits Agreement (COBA) application using COBOL,

DB2, and Maintained CICS screens using the BMS utility.

• Supporting the Data Extract System (DESY) for the 5010 Medical Claim format upgrade

using COBOL and DB2 applications.

• Supporting the Data Agreement & Data Shipping Tracking System (DADASS) by

responding to User requests for the retrieval of data using DB2 and BMC applications.

July 2007 to November 2008 System Analyst for State of Maryland Child Support

Enforcement Agency. Essex, MD.

Designed and developed enhancements to track Child Support Compliance and benefits. This effort

includes reviewing user requests and writing high level analysis and detail requirement documents.

Upon approval of the Requirements I, and the staff I mentored, would implement and test the

requested solutions using CICS and COBOL along with various mainframe utility applications.

December 2006 to April 2007 Programmer Analyst for Blue Cross Blue Shield of South

Carolina. Columbia, SC.

Provided support to an on-line (CICS) and batch (COBOL) membership billing system, under

HIPPA. Researched user problems then suggested and implemented fixes to either COBOL and

CICS code or the data. I used my skills in research and analyst to provide in-depth insight into user

reported problems.

May 2006 to November 2006 Programmer Analyst for Department of Child Welfare, State of

Wisconsin. Madison, WI.

Helping to design and develop a system that is upgrading the way Health Insurance is tracked in

Child Support Cases. This effort includes reviewing user requests and writing high level and detail

requirement documents. Upon approval of the Requirements I then write detail design and unit and

system testing documents to be passed on the junior programming staff. In between projects I am

also helping to resolve ongoing production problems. This effort entails analysis of the problem,

developing and implementing a solution.

February 2005 to February 2006 IBM Consultant for Verizon Wireless. Orangeburg, NY.

Helping to design and develop a system that uses REXX, TSO/e, BMC, COBOL, and JCL to

unload and parse Production DB2 tables and then load the data in support of the fourteen

development and system test regions. Providing users with appropriate test data. I was also

responsible for checking each region, after software migration, to verify that basic functionality

remained intact.

October 1998 to December 2004 DB2 Technical Lead for American Electric Power Nuclear

Gen. Bridgman, MI.

As an Application Developer and DB2 Technical Lead, I provide maintenance and enhancement

support for AEP’s Nuclear Plant Maintenance (NPM) portion of TENERA’s Plant Information

Management System (PIMS). This system was developed using TENERA Cradle2, COBOL II and

accesses data stored in DB2. CICS was the basis for the TENERA interface used to provide on-line

capability. The system is run on a single IBM OS/390 mainframe system using JCL and CA-7

scheduler. There were occasions to create new CICS screens but mostly the existing screens were

modified. This was because of a TENERA limit of 26 allowable screens and the system was at that

maximum.

• I use Platinum and BMC Tools to monitor and maintain the Development and Test DB2

environments.

• I interfaced with the user community to gather and evaluate requirements. I also worked

with the rest of the team to confirming test results.

• I also provided first line DB2 support to my co-workers and department management.
