EXPERIENCE:

Easylink Services International Corp., Piscataway, NJ

Software Engineer / System Engineer

06/2002 - 01/2011

. Redesigned a Perl/SQL application collecting billing data from 86 servers

and storing that data in two large Oracle database tables. When

implemented, the project will reduce the overall data storage requirement

by 28%, and eliminate previous need to join two big tables every time a

report has been generated.

. Reverse-engineered Perl/SQL code to extract and document application

business rules; analyzed data to validate business rules; designed and

built new support procedures and scripts; standardized databases used in

production, and testing environments.

. Analyzed/managed business requirements, and wrote design documents for a

new service platform that added Managed File Transfer to services offered

to customers. Created designs for various smaller projects, worked with

developers to establish time estimates, and provided support for design

and/or requirements issues arising during product development cycle. Used

MS Word, Excel, Visio.

. Optimized a major document Perl-based delivery application to achieve 50%

performance gain while adding support for new communication protocols -

SFTP and FTPS. Using Perl and C++ designed and developed a new platform

providing an FTP-based interface which allowed customers to

submit/receive documents processed by the company's main service

platform. Developed various custom Perl applications to standardize

external documents and submit them for internal processing. Built a

document interface which distributed documents to destinations depending

on those destinations internal configuration.

improvement. Developed complex algorithms to parse and format data.

. Provided analysis and development support for complex, cross-platform,

data analysis and investigation requests utilizing UNIX, Windows,

mainframe, and Internet technologies. Developed an application that

merged addresses received in different formats from several separate

systems. Maintained high level of customer satisfaction, and achieved the

highest performance ranking as recognized by management. Used: UNIX PERL,

queries. Evaluated and recommended software packages to support

development projects. Used UNIX, PERL, Shell Scripts, Oracle 8i, Oracle

WebDB, SQL, MVS, JCL, Easytrieve, WinNT, HTML, Dreamweaver.

. Managed requirements, analyzed, and modeled data for a major order

processing system. Coordinated data exchange interface agreements with 36

external interfaces. Participated in deployment timelines negotiations,

monitored design, implementation, and testing processes. As a project

leader directed a four member team. Successfully eliminated inherited

request backlog; maintained a high level of client satisfaction; and

. Initiated and lead a reengineering project that modified a system

generating time-critical marketing lists. Performed the roles of project

leader, system architect, and lead developer; providing support for and

coordinating work of up to five people, and assuring uninterrupted system

availability for current production. The project generated significant

cost savings - reducing production cycle duration by 60%, manual labor

support by 90%, and data storage costs by 82%; which together resulted in

annual savings of $3 million. Used: COBOL2, CLIST, DB2, IMS, JCL, SQL,

SAS, Visio, MS Project, MS Office.

. Supported mainframe-based marketing lists generation systems. Organized
