Employment Experience

Qinetiq-NA October 1994 - current

Senior System Analyst

I design new and modify existing programs and reports to incorporate the

changes specified in the current Statement of Work for the ERIS Project.

The work includes preparing the appropriate file and element specifications

as well as the detailed process specifications that were included in the

formal Functional Specifications Package that defines the ERIS project

requirements. As a member of the Requirements Analysis Team, I analyze the

requirements outlined in the SOW and identify the impacts and size the

tasks described in new proposals. I also provide support for the IRS

Quality Assurance team during the independent testing of the software. I

participate in the formal response to the Statement of Work for the

upcoming contracts for software development

I am the lead of the ITS Software Engineering Process Group (SEPG) where we

define, evaluate, and establish the standard software development processes

and procedures used by ITS and ERIS. I am also the ERIS Software Quality

Assurance Manager and from 1996 through 2000, I was the backup ERIS

Software Configuration Manager. As the SQA Manager, I prepare and maintain

the SQA plan, conduct SQA audits and report the results to management. As

the CM Manager, I performed the CM/version control on the various software

products developed under the contract. I have participated in the

successful Software Capability Evaluation (SCE) reviews of our ITS/ERIS

software development processes, where we were formally certified as SEI CMM

Level-II by both IRS and independent reviewers.

Contract Task Manager/Senior Systems Analyst August 1995 - April 1997

As the Contract Task Manager for the ERIS project I was responsible for a

team of 12 computer analysts that produced the design, programming,

testing, implementation and documentation of all modifications for Phase

6.1, Phase 6.2 and Phase 6.3. This included the total re-design of the DB2

database and the 60+ programs that interface with it as well as re-writing

over 120 report programs to incorporate a standardized structured design.

I led the team of analysts that functioned as our Change Control board,

that created the work breakdown tasks and assigned the programmers and

schedules to complete the various phases of the deliverable schedule.

I tracked and reported the status of the project to the Project Manger on a

weekly basis as well as preparing the official written biweekly status

reports and meetings with the IRS' Contracting Officer's Technical

Representative (COTR) as defined in the contract. Additionally, I

consolidated and prepared the various letters and documentation detailing

the work accomplished to satisfy each of the deliverables defined in the

contract.

Lead Analyst Programmer October 1994 - July 1995

Designed new programs and modified existing reports to incorporate the

changes specified in the Phase 5.2 and Phase 6.0 Statements of Work for the

ERIS Project. The work included preparing the appropriate file and element

specifications as well as the detailed process specifications that were

included in the formal Functional Specifications Package which defines the

ERIS project requirements. Also provided support for the IRS Quality

Assurance team during the independent testing of the software.

Department of Treasury Financial Management Service March 1968 -

September 1994

Lead Systems Analyst - PILOT Requirements April 1993 - September 1994

The primary concern of PILOT is to provide a platform for internal (other

FMS computer systems) and external (other Federal agencies) users of the

System 90/PACER for testing and phased conversion to a new system when

development is completed. The success of PILOT depends on the agencies

participation. The critical vehicle that we use to establish the Agency's

PILOT requirements is a consolidated document that defines all of the

interfaces with the new PACER system. To produce a meaningful document, I

devised a methodology for integrating IDEAL, screen layouts, EXCELERATOR

report layouts, and WORDPERFECT file descriptions into a customized WP

Agency package. The resulting package was presented to the agency

representatives in July '94 and drew praise from both internal FMS staff

and the external PACER community.

Lead Systems Analyst - System Design February 1990 - April 1993

During the design phase of the S90/PACER Project, I led a team of analysts

responsible for the review of contractor design and related documents,

providing technical and functional guidance to the contractor and user (non-

technical) representatives on the design team. I reported the results of

the review to Project Management and the COTR (Contracting Officer

Technical Representative). During this phase, extensive use was made of

EXCELERATOR (CASE) generated Requirements Documents (DFDs, Data Dictionary,

Report Layouts, etc.), IDEAL (4GL) generated PDL Pseudo-code and RAD (Rapid

Application Development) prototyping of screen designs using IDEAL and

DATACOM (Relational DBMS) on the IBM 3090/200 under MVS/ESA.

Lead Systems Analyst - Requirements Analysis March 1989 - February 1990

Served as a member of the Source Selection Evaluation Board to evaluate and

rate the various vendor proposals to the $50+ million S90/PACER RFP

(Request for Proposal) and the accompanying high level Functional Data

Requirements (FDR) developed prior to RFP issue. Extensive use was made of

EXCELERATOR and HIPO (Hierarchical Input Process Output) charts in JAD

(Joint Application Design) process requirements analysis which resulted in

the FDR. During the requirements phase of the S90/PACER Project, I led a

team of analysts responsible for review of contractor requirements and

related documents, providing technical and functional guidance to the

contractor and user representatives on the design team, and reporting

review results to Project Management and the COTR. As Deputy Technical

Project Manager, assisted staff and defined roles and responsibilities for

each of the four teams (called tracks) to monitor the main PACER sub-

systems, and determined training requirements to provide team members with

skill to do the job.

Project Chief Programmer - HIS Upgrade Project December 1981 - March

1989

Initially, developed the Application Programming Guide detailing standards

and procedures for all programming on the Honeywell conversion project.

Also developed and maintained the COBOL Copy Library of standardized data

descriptions and routines to which Honeywell programs would adhere. As

Chief Programmer and Lead Analyst, I designed, coded, implemented, and

maintained five major (we generate over 40 million government payments per

month) disbursement systems (SSA Benefits, Federal Salary, Travel, and

Thrift Savings Plan payments and Vendor EFT payments). The work was

performed on a Honeywell level 66/80 computers located in seven regional

FMS centers, simultaneously converting from punch card to the new

government paper checks and the redesigned check reconciliation reporting

format. Also designed and Coded the Computer Output Microfilm (COM) and

Check Holds Processing functions. I also develop and administer detailed

plans assign tasks, schedules, and staff to programming and testing duties.

The project introduced structured techniques, re-usable code, DBMS (DMIV)

and TP (DMIV/TP) processing to the payments centers.

Programmer Analyst - IBM Upgrade Project November 1976 - December 1981

Developed specifications from user requirements, coded, tested, implemented

and documented COBOL programs in converting an IBM 7074 system to IBM

370/OS.

Senior Computer Operator - Computer Operations Department March 1968 -

November 1976

Isolated and corrected production problems to meet stringent deadlines at

the lowest operational costs. Also assisted programmers in testing their

newly developed programs and provided guidance and assistance to junior

operators.
