IT Consultant - Sr. Programmer/Analyst 1985 - 2004

Consulting for Fortune 500 Insurance and Financial Services organizations with

highly distributed environments and fluctuating priorities, I followed directives to

lay intricate and detailed plans, effectively and efficiently implementing cross

platform priorities. Worked with all levels of management and user interface to

discern appropriate actions, often in rapidly evolving environments, obtained user

requirements and designed automated systems.

Designed and created relational databases, extracted, manipulated and merged

data, designed reports and feed generations. Designed, coded and tested

interactive user interfaces for online data entry, capture, ad hoc and structured

government reporting using SQL, COBOL, CICS, Fourth generation languages,

various technologies, protocols and file structures.

My primary responsibility was information collection in preparation of

incorporating remote Credit Card Decision Systems into a singular, standardized

system. Data from remote locations in their existing forms was necessarily

archived in a retrievable format to allow for legally required submissions on

historical decisions. I prepared the data and archival processes, wrote

documentation enabling others to locate specific data and the requisite steps for

retrieval and utilization. I fully supported this system.

My additional responsibilities were related to the increased security risk of

compromised personal data within the general population and environment. Data

was received in various formats in order to quickly incorporate at-risk social

security numbers, names, birthdates and addresses into an interface for the

decision systems to provide additional security on Credit Card requests for

compromised individuals. Attend Project Management meetings for examination

of all documents pertaining to the retirement of the Hagerstown facility and

incorporation into Dallas System.

Testing Y2K modifications was my responsibility. Data mining was used to extract

and create a wide range of use-cases for this parallel production environment

with dates ranging over a six-month period, encompassing 12/31/99. I created

the test environment and provided sole production support remotely. Control-M

was used for batch scheduling.

My initial project was to develop an online system CICS/VSAM for check

verification. It was implemented quickly without issue. Based upon my

performance I was given responsibility for production support on CDS.

Continuing problems were present due to non-standardization of check printing in

a distributed environment. When operational issues occurred on at one physical

location, four systems were halted and a high-priority situation was imminent.

Analysis of the problem required immediate, full attention and client-facing

communication with a mix of technical and clerical resolution ensued.

Documentation afterward was of limited assistance in prevention of future issues

and modification to the overall system was indicated.

Analysis of the core processing in the installed batch system was precarious as

modification to the purchased, Assembler-written code was not the best idea

based upon the number of interfaces established. I developed a creative solution

to the problem and the system was vastly improved with minimal down-time

afterward.

Because of my success with the ISA system, my responsibilities were increased

to perform analysis on all proposed enhancements and interfaces to the cash

disbursement system.

Reserve Life Insurance Company

RLI had acquired a financial entity which controlled a manual system of

approximately 1500 Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRA) and Simplified

Employee Pension Individual Retirement Accounts (SEP IRA). Three to five

clerks historically handled all transactions and reporting. I gathered information

on their manual system via personal interview and then performed a systems

analysis in order to automate the system to interface with RLI’s LIFE70 annuity

system. Automated preparation of 1099-R’s were required for reporting of

distributions.

I served as client-facing developer to design the online/batch system using

COBOL/CICS and VSAM file structure, again using Agile Software Development

methodology. I was Project lead and coordinated the process with Reserve Life’s

SME. I wrote program specifications for batch processes, which junior

developers coded and I coded the online programs, developing use-cases with

the client for testing. The project was fully implemented within the 6 month

planned time frame.

USLIFE

Standardized processes were implemented to handle centralized processing for

four life insurance companies which had been acquired by USLIFE. The majority

of the insurance and financial systems had been standardized prior to my

graduation from their Systems Development Engineer (SED) training. Tax

reporting was still a partially-manual system. A printed report was created each

year in January and mailed to the individual companies where clerks modified the

list and returned it with corrections. The updated list was used as input for a

reporting program that created the 1099’s for mailing.

Agile methodology was utilized with Business Process Modeling to design a

system for interfacing the processes with a newly developed CICS/VSAM

system. Extraction of the data had to be modified to meet federal reporting

changes This allowed the individual companies to update their 1099’s online. I

used the updated files to create a single tape for IRS submission.

My second client-facing developer project for USLIFE required me to design

code and test the CICS/VSAM portion and lead two junior programmers in the

batch portion. A centralized system was implemented on time for all four

companies.
