**** – Present JP Morgan Chase Production Support Analyst

Wilmington, DE

I am supporting middleware applications on a IBM mainframe. Prior to the Mainframe, I was managing jobs in a UNIX environment using Control-M and other various technologies such as Oracle Objects and Stored Procedures.

1999 – 2013 21st Century Insurance SENIOR PROGRAMMER ANALYST

Wilmington, DE 19803-1115

HP Itanium, COBOL, C, VB, UNIX, Perl, Oracle/SQL, MQ, SSH, Sharepoint, Toad. I supported the company’s Assigned Risk application which was derived from the company’s DRC auto policy system. I have made various modifications to the DRC auto policy and Assigned Risk systems. These modifications included changes to the Marketing, Quote, Policy and Commissions portions of these systems. These applications use MQ processing. The Assigned Risk system uses Oracle stored procedures. I have also worked with the company’s OFAC processing. I worked on a HP Itanium running UNIX and Oracle utilizing various servers. I’ve also worked with FTP, SSH/SFTP and PGP. Most of the batch processing uses Perl and Korn shell scripts. I have worked with the Company’s Rate Maker application which utilizes Excel spreadsheets that are then converted to Perl scripts and Perl subroutines. I was introduced to XML, JSP, Java, RAD, Eclipse, with Struts, Hibernate and other frameworks. I’ve used various software analysis tools.

Seven years modifying and supporting MSMS (Mechanized Spares Management System). I was instrumental in the conversion of the on-line portion of MSMS from CICS to IMS. For five years, I supported Boeing Helicopter’s DM2000 application. DM2000 is a collection of applications tracking engineer drawings and other such related documents. The DM2000 “core systems” were developed in Seattle. Then later a number of additional applications and various programs were developed in Philadelphia and added to DM2000 in support of the engineering community in Philadelphia. Most of the Philadelphia developed programs were written in the “C” programming language. I have been recently studying the Java programming language as I see it as the tool of the future.

Duties / Responsibilities

21st Century Insurance 1999 – 2013

I have developed data interfaces between 21st Century and AIPSO utilizing various technologies including Perl, XML, SFTP, PGP and Oracle. I’ve modified the Auto Policy and Auto Quote systems to handle the New York Motor Vehicle Law Enforcement Fee. I’ve added other various enhancements to the Auto Policy and Auto Quote systems. I’ve utilized various FTP and SFTP servers providing data communications between 21st Century and their partners. 21st Century uses Micro Focus/HP COBOL on a HP Itanium.

21st Century uses the DRC Insurance application which utilizes MQ, Oracle, Visual Basic screens, JSP screens, Java and JSP. Within the last three or four years I have been supporting the Assigned Risk auto insurance application. This application is all of the DRC Voluntary systems plus a Commission piece which is a modified version of the Receivables portion of the DRC Voluntary application. The Commission portion of AR had a stored procedure that was running over four hours and I reduced the run time to less than one hour. This particular procedure is over twenty pages long.

Boeing Helicopters 1993 – 1999

I was support analyst for the PDM (Product Data Management) systems. This includes the DM2000 system brought in from Seattle, Boeing Headquarters. DM2000 is a group of systems that tracks engineering drawing changes. At Boeing Helicopters in Philadelphia (Ridley Park) the engineering community needed the capabilities of DM2000 plus other requirements. This was my responsibility to provide DM2000 with those added capabilities. The approach was to add a series of satellite applications around DM2000 using the ‘C’ programming language. I supported the application of any new enhancements introduced by the core development group situated in Seattle to the core application “Drawing Records”. Some of the satellite applications are known as Vault, Bonded, Datalist, Forms Tracking, Vendor, Documents and, Sevens Tracking. All of these satellite applications are written in the C programming language. Most if not all of the core DM2000 applications are written in FORTRAN. Online screens are developed in DEC-forms. DM2000 runs on a DEC alpha system. These duties involved meeting engineers during quality improvement meetings and providing computer technology to some of their business processes. I attended various Tele-conferences with the West Coast analysts to discuss current and future enhancements to DM2000. I am responsible for attending many of the various meetings dealing with the various subjects that the ERU (Engineering Release Unit) groups manage. My job also involves interacting with DBA and the technology team.

Boeing Helicopters 1986 – 1993

During this period, I was a Business Systems Programmer Analyst for a main frame COBOL application called MSMS (Mechanized Spares Management System). MSMS is the spare parts order and tracking system. After the Vietnam War spare parts became Vertol’s bread and butter. I first started in MSMS by becoming familiar with this complex system by applying bug fixes and minor enhancements. Later, I became the lead programmer/analyst involved in a major conversion/enhancement effort of changing MSMS from CICS/IMS to IMS/DC. This effort was a two part challenge first the direct conversion from CICS/IMS to IMS/DC and then secondly the many needed enhancements. This major effort was done to make MSMS the primary spares application “Core system” for the entire Boeing Company. I was instrumental in the CICS/IMS to IMS/DC conversion. I provided technical knowledge for the conversion. During the second phase of the project I was responsible with managing the on-line “Enhancements”. At one time there were as many as twenty people involved in this major “Enhancement”.
