Selected Accomplishments
Redesigned the IRS payment process. Streamlined, flowcharted, and documented functions for the IRS payments, improving collections to $100M+ in annual revenue. The IRS intercept process was poorly designed and required new State/Federal regulations. Utilizing the AGILE process, implemented a new process which included a complete SDLC: business analysis for a streamlined redesign of on-line/batch programming and JCL; performing unit/user testing, developing financial reports, and implementation to production for 64 county offices. This reduced the time of processing, saving numerous staff hours/money; a more rapid method for processing payments.
Business analysis, programming, testing, and distributed daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually the enforcement/financial reports. Developed, created, and produced over 100 enforcement/financial reports for the State/County offices. Worked independently with business and technical colleagues to define critical enforcement/financial goals and translate them into technical requirements, and concise functional reports. Ensured security of these reports (FTPS, encryption).
Assisted with the project management for the analysis of functions for migration to new platform. The ACSES had performed on a legacy system since its inception in 1988. The technical debt and the importance of use to the users outweighed the issues and costs to migrate to a new platform. The first step was the examination of the database (files, views, etc.). Developed first project plan to redesign and document the database.
Documented/flowcharted every function for on-line/batch/database, contributed valuable tools to support the mission of ACSES. Due to detail and analysis ability was asked to provide technical documentation (business rules, flowcharts, spreadsheets, ERD’s, data flows, process flows, etc.). This had never been done and included examining 6,000+ Natural programs, 100+ JCL, and 20+ interfaces.
Created flowcharts and spreadsheets to document where objects, datasets, data views, etc., were utilized and what made use of them. Provided increased understanding of ACSES systems/functions, enlightened the ‘big picture,’ and was used in multiple tasks for preparation of migration to new platform.
