IT Professional Summary
On April 30, 2008, I was categorized by The Maryland Department of Budget and Management Office of Personnel Services and Benefits as 'Best Qualified' (which is highest category(s)) for 'DP Programmer Analyst Lead/Advanced' and 'DP Programmer Analyst II. In October 2006, I took the (TEK System) test for COBOL ("Brainbench") and received an "Advanced/Master" placement. Over 20 years working in legacy COBOL. Experience in all phases of SDLC: from initial developer/client; analogy through hierarchal conceptualization, flowchart, coding, testing, data validation, execution, documentation through production. Experience with batch and online programming development needs for client with quality verification screens and user-friendly design.
In addition, I have kept myself regularly training with the Nancy Stern ‘COBOL FOR THE 21ST CENTURY’ manual. This manual provides you with all the online exercises of real-world scenarios and situations. It contains all the structured programming techniques and aids and developmental guides for developing sorts, merge, index and relative file processing, arrays, control break routines, data validation, calls, copy etc. I am an analytical programmer that possesses strong knowledge of COBOL programming and quickly masters any new software packages and hardware technologies.
