Fifth Third Bank Cincinnati, Ohio July 2015 to February 2016
Applications Developer in UDS (Uniform Deposits System). I was most recently involved in the de-conversion of Banks in the St. Louis and Pennsylvania markets. I was responsible for the Safety Deposit Box portion. This entailed the detailed analysis and creation of files used by the buying Bank to incorporate Safety Deposit Boxes into their system. I wrote 10-20 SAS programs to both create balancing reports and reformat Fifth Third’s SafeBox files for the buying Bank (Great Southern). I have also been responsible for the testing and installation of the yearly updates of the Vendor software used to generate end of year IRS tax statements. I have worked in a number of remediations for Credit Card using SAS. I also was responsible for the analysis and and generation of reports to comply with requests made to all financial institutions by the Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau. In the process I used 30-40 SAS programs I had written to research Same Day Lending transactions going back over 5 years. I am currently using for the most part COBOL and SAS, as well as JCL. The platforms include ROSCOE and TSO. I was on a 6 month contract which was not renewed as my department had hired in three new full time employees.

I work closely with Business Analysts in testing and with problem resolution. I am closely involved with the Vendor Loans Systems (VLS) quarterly software releases which maintain and update the Fidelity Information Services (FIS) software. In addition to daily exposure to FIS APL software, I have taken four weeks of intensive FIS training classes, both in house and offsite with the vendor. This included API’s, RPI’s, DAG’s, Data Dictionary, parms and Elements. One of my main duties is supporting testing in the numerous Chase Bank CICS test regions. I am responsible for validating input files, monitoring the testing process and resolving any issues which may occur. My most recent project which was installed in the first quarter release involved adding Spanish Language of Preference code to the Vendor Loans system. I did the initial analysis, and forecasted the time needed for coding, testing and implementation. In the process I added hundreds of lines of COBOL code to numerous programs. I am looking for another opportunity in the central Ohio area.
