Profile

I hold certificates as an AS/400 Specialist and Programmer from Moraine Valley College and have been involved in the Information Technology field for 20+ years. I am hardworking and possess excellent working habits. I am skilled in collaborating with inter-departmental managers and staff on short and long-range system solutions. Extremely capable in translating and anticipating user needs. Able to quickly master and implement new technologies. Highly aggressive and motivated, resulting in a consistent high level of service and quality. Always maintain a high energy level with the ability to adapt to change and pressure. Work extremely well with users and all levels of management. Have trained client personnel to better manage IS department and implement effective procedures and standards.

Some of the highlights of my career include my many years’ experience with the RPGILE environment, interactive and batch FTP processing, subfile programming expertise, using embedded SQL to create user defined applications, and extensive knowledge of change management (Implementer). Certified as an OutSystems Platform developer.
