04/2004 -09/2008 Sr. Software Developer

Nielsen Media Research - Oldsmar, FL

My proudest accomplishments while employed at The Nielsen Company were a

PL/1-Fixed Decimal Overflow and SV7Q Card SAS/Java/JZOS interface projects

for which I received an "Employee Peer Recognition" award. In response to

IBM's release of its new Enterprise PL/1 compiler PL/1 programs were

scanned for variables defined as Fixed Decimal data to ensure they were

defined appropriately to prevent programs from abending with a "Fixed

Decimal Overflow" exception. The SV7Q Card SAS/Java/JZOS interface project

required a bridge between the JZOS UNIX Data Warehouse and MVS mainframe

environments which had not been performed prior to this project. Both of

these efforts proved valuable in that technical resources and man hours

were saved because possible system interruptions were identified and

adverted.

Saved resource man hours; by negotiating SAS license renewal agreements

.This was achieved through gathering, trouble shooting and reporting SAS

software issues, working directly with System

Developed OS/MVS applications using SAS v9/base/macros/connect/DB2-SQL and

MS SQL mainframe host data was extracted to produce data models, maps and

generate forecast reports which assisted our clients in targeting their

advertising campaign revenue. Recommended and implemented source code

changes to several of the "Common Ant Builds" that were used to compile and

maintain Java/J2EE classes for our web base reporting applications and

other Enterprise Processing functions.
