Dear Hiring Manager,

This letter is in response to the Programmer Analyst position.

I am currently employed by Leidos, Inc., a Department of Defense contractor as a Senior Software Developer supporting the Automated Logistics Management Support System (ALMSS) utilized by the United States Air Force. While I am saddened at the thought of leaving my current position and team members because our contract will not be renewed this year, I look forward to the new opportunities on the horizon.

I am and have been for many years an active participant in all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle including: Trouble Shooting Requirements Gathering Critical Thinking System Analysis Decision Making Solution Design Peer Review Solution Coding Test Case Creation Unit Testing Quality Control Approval Solution Presentation System and User Documentation Change Management Request.

As an AS400 developer I am experienced with OS400, PF, LF, PRTF, SEU, SDA (including subfiles), FEU, DFU, QRY, COBOL, RPG, CL, SQL, and Job Scheduler.

My recent area of focus has been web-enabling legacy interactive green screen COBOL programs, but I am also familiar with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and C#, and .net.

I utilize Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and to a lesser extent PowerPoint and Access), Visio, Jira, Vector, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and IBM Access Client.

Please review my resume and consider me for this position and any other position for which you feel I would be a good fit.

Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Rusty G. Manning
