As an experienced Mainframe Programmer/Analyst, my 10 most recent years have been in the banking industry. My last contract was support of the MMIS project for IBM. It required COBOL code development to extract health care claims submitted by providers. Prior employment was Senior Technical Analyst with JP Morgan Chase, using COBOL skills to develop, code and monitor funds transfer applications and on-line screens in production. In addition to systems & program testing, User Acceptance Testing and funds transfer I was responsible for Disaster Recovery tests and error reporting. Both Mainframe and Tandem environment knowledge was essential. I have extensive experience with COBOL development, a BS in Business Management, an MBA in Information Systems, COBOL programming certificate and numerous in-house module completions and certificates. I am willing to relocate.
