-PresentUniversity of California, BerkeleyManager, Systems
Programming & Data Administration & Enterprise Architect for Administrative Systems For
the last 25 years, as the manager of Systems Programming & Data Administration, I have
been responsible for a staff of 25 senior OS390/UNIX/NT system administrators and DBAs who
are charged with the development, deployment, operation, and maintenance of the Berkeley
campus' mission-critical administrative computing infrastructure. The unit's
responsibilities include OS and utilities maintenance, database management, hardware
support, system and data access security, and technical standards and development
guidelines. As manager, I was charged with influencing the technical evolution of
administrative applications. The unit has a budget of over $7M. As a recruiter and mentor,
I have cultivated a loyal and trusting relationship with my staff. For example, despite
the compensation limitations of the University, my DBAs and systems programmers have an
average tenure of 10 years. Recently, as part of the campus implementation of PeopleSoft's
Financials System, I recruited and set up a 3-person NT group to establish 35 NT Terminal
Servers/Metaframe Servers to support over 2,000 PC/MacIntosh workstations over a TCP/IP
network. The existing IBM 9672 that supports most of the campus' critical business and
student systems was used as the DB2 database Server for our PeopleSoft ERP implementation.
Leveraging this architecture allowed the University to avoid hiring as many as 50
workstation support personnel. By using IBM and DB2 as the server, existing database
expertise and operations were also leveraged, saving the University the substantial cost
of establishing a new infrastructure and hiring additional system staff. However, we now
support Oracle and Sybase on UNIX and SQL Server on NT as well, because of other
applications requirements. As a senior technical manager in the 300+ campus IT and TelCom
organization, I servede as the technical partner on many system development efforts. I
have provided technical leadership and influenced the direction of application
development, and I ensured that appropriate technology is used, so that new systems and
data can be integrated into the existing application infrastructure. As the campus Data
Administrator, I worked closely with technical directors, managers, administrators,
programmers, and analysts within central IT and across campus to forge agreements on data
sharing and to obtain consensus on issues of data privacy, data ownership, and
confidentiality. In my more recent role as the IT Enterprise Architect for Administrative
Systems, I developed an IT architectural frameowrk for the campus that has shaped the
overall IT vision for the campus computing infrastructure. I worked to achieve buy-ins by
IT directors, managers, and programmers within central IT and across the campus via
participatory forums. I developed a strategy with stakeholders and drove the elements of
the architectural framework to acceptance within the affected groups. I helped these
groups recognize technical opportunities and helped them develop proposals to obtain
funding for their projects. Currently, I am working with technical managers,
administrators, and e-Business vendors to establish an infrastructure for a campus
business portal and credit card processing. In late 1980's, when IBM first marketed its
PC, I established an "Information Center" (the pre-cursor of today's Data Warehouse) and
conducted over 3,00 student-hours of training. I organized two campus-wide PC conferences
and inspired campus management and staff to adopt the PC as a tool to improve
productivity. I taught at the Graduate School of Librarianship at UC Berkeley and I served
on the committee at the University Extension that developed the Certificate of Data
Processing program. I was also an instructor at Extension for several years.
