PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Verizon, Basking Ridge, NJ 2010-2015

Corporate Finance

Responsible for allocating new billing codes for applications and external vendors, and for retiring those no longer in use. Acted as Billing Coordinator for customized commercial accounts, which involved installing MVS jobs written in SAS that would extract relevant SMF data in order to ensure that jobs, started tasks, and datasets were billed to the correct organizations. Also maintained the Corporate Accounting intranet web site using HTML and JavaScript.

Rangam Consultants, Inc. 2008-2010

Joined this consulting firm as a Web Developer.

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Skillman, NJ

Performed upgrades and added new functionality to one of the J&J intranet sites. New functionality included a mechanism for identifying users and tracking their movement throughout the site, and custom reports for viewing and analyzing that movement. Upgraded other web applications to make them faster and more user-friendly. Installed a site-wide document Search application utilizing Microsoft Index Server. Built searchable repositories for claims and clinical studies. The sites were developed using HTML, ASP, MS Access and SQL Server, CSS, JavaScript, and AJAX.

Becker Staffing Services, Inc. 2007-2008

Joined this consulting firm as a Web Developer.

Ascend Media, Princeton, NJ, and Omnisphere, Plainsboro, NJ

Became the sole web developer on five online publications within the Healthcare division. Primary focus was to assist in outsourcing these websites to an outside vendor. In the interim, was responsible for site enhancements and maintenance, content management, web- and SQL-Server management, and publishing bi-weekly e-Newsletters. The sites were developed using ColdFusion MX 6, SQL Server, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and bits of ASP and PHP.

International Business Machines (IBM), Piscataway, NJ 1999-2007

Global Services, AT&T Account

Resource & Provisioning Management (RPM) (2002 – 2007)

Engaged as a primary developer on a tool that was commissioned in February 2002 to reduce process complexity and to provide linkage to better asset inventory management and billing. Replaced paper forms and manual data entry with web-based forms supported by server-side logic and linkage to both internal and external databases, and integrated to an Oracle Workflow back-end system. RPM resulted in 50% step reduction with a 68% decrease in average time to process. This tool required extensive use of:

HTML

JavaScript

ColdFusion 5

Oracle

SQL Server

Application Capacity Planning (1999 – 2007)

Designed and developed utilities that assist the MVS Application Capacity Planners in their forecasting by trending historical data. Gathered data from MVS control blocks on over 20 complexes and 40 LPARs using Assembler code, and from MICS using SAS procedures, and consolidated the data into a single location. Used SAS to generate daily HTML reports accessible via the intranet that detailed MIPS consumption, Silo Scratch Tape activity, IMS and CICS transactions, and SMS Pool usage, all from various points of view. JCL for these jobs was generated and submitted from one place using Control-M and ISPF Dialog Manager.

Assumed sole responsibility for maintaining the Hardware Plan of Record (HPOR), originally an MS Access database updated via forms. HPOR was a tool used primarily by midrange capacity planners and onsite system administrators for managing acquisitions and upgrades of both hardware and software. In order to make it more easily accessible to new users, and to cleanly separate the data from the code, installed a web-based front-end using ColdFusion and migrated the data to SQL Server, and then, in 2005, to Oracle. Based on user feedback during the migration period, eliminated unused features while adding new, more useful ones.

AT&T, East Brunswick, Somerset, and Piscataway, NJ 1985-1999

MVS Cost Reduction Team (1997 – 1999)

Developed utilities and tools that identified CPU- and storage-related cost savings opportunities: Weekly background reports written in SAS focus primarily on data that had not been referenced since its creation date, or that will never expire. A Proc Scan utility written in Assembler identified JCL that did not conform to best practices, allowing the team to identify oversights and hold the gains in improvements. Received a SPOT award for helping to achieve an annual savings of $2 million.

Global Fraud Management System (GFMS) (1995 – 1997)

Served as project leader for the Front End Network Processing System (FENAP), the front-end of the fraud-detection system. This system acquired all messages from the AT&T network (as many as 280 million messages per day), interpreted the hundreds of message formats, complemented the messages with supplementary data from various sources, and restructured the messages according to each of its clients’ specific needs, all within minutes of call completion. This application was modeled in Paradigm Plus using OMT and implemented in C++ using Tools.h++ and STL. Through use of object-oriented techniques, the application was capable of running in both multi-threaded mode under Windows NT and multi-process mode under SVR4 UNIX. FENAP was the only component of GFMS that met all implementation deadlines, earning a Certificate of Merit award for each team member.

Recorded Information Collection System (RICS) (1985 - 1995)

Project leader (from 1989) and developer for RICS, the front-end of the AT&T Billing System. RICS was a COBOL/Assembler MVS application that performed billing data validation, correction and augmentation, network monitoring, and data mining. The primary application (TURBO) was available 24x7 and processed up to 20 million billing messages per hour. Notable accomplishments include: improving performance by using STROBE to identify inefficient sections of code and finding ways to make that code more efficient; and reducing data latency by:

allowing batch jobs required to communicate with one another to run concurrently through the use of ECSA (common storage)

minimizing the need for human intervention of job submission by replacing tapes with a TCP/IP link to the UNIX data providers.

Received HARP awards for:

annual cost savings of $50 million realized through the installation of several high-speed discernment tables above the 16M line

reduction in time-to-bill for misdirected usage via the Misdirected Usage Transfer System.

Designed and developed online and batch applications in order to support the work environments of both the development teams and the data center operators, employing programming skills such as:

COBOL II

Assembler

VSAM

ISPF Dialog Manager

CLISTs

Early on, participated on a team charged with evaluating IBM’s new database management system, DB2.
