* **** **** ** @ **********@*****.*** q linkedin.com SUMMARY
I have a proven track record with over 20 years of experience in Cognos report development and database optimization where I have implemented reporting improving management decision making by 30 to 40%. My significant contributions to performance tuning and SQL query development have directly boosted operational efficiencies and decision-making processes in previous roles. I am a dedicated and creative technical resource with vast experience in implementing complex management systems in both the Government and Private (Financial and Medical) Sector. I served and retired after 18 years in the US Army in the capacity of Network Analysist/ Computer Programmer where I was involved in extreme sensitive information and had high level security clearance (TS/SBI). I provided support and installed classified systems in Germany (where I was stationed for 6 years) and Dhahran, Saudi Arabia (Desert Storm). I was also the Team Chief responsible for design, development and document testing procedures for the Army Email System (MMDF II). I currently hold Public Trust Clearance (since January 2018) which requires annual security training.
