Position: Desired- Sr. Programmer/Analyst Current- Sr. Programmer/Analyst

Salary: Desired- Open Current-

I am experienced in a variety of development and maintenance projects. I have supervised small groups of programmers with technical and design guidance. I have written extensive documentation for the products and interfaces I have developed and I have had extensive communications with representatives of large companies while building these interfaces. I have designed solutions for projects in a legacy system with flexibility and adaptability. Most of my career involves BAL but I have a fair amount of experience in CICS and COBOL. I have also converted BAL programs to COBOL.

I support and modify CICS applications, adding screens and tasks as needed to maintain merchant profiles. I also support and modify Intercomm (a CICS-like online system) as part of the credit card authorization business. I started at FDMS by translating a huge, batch BAL program into COBOL II. I then made a series of modifications to the new COBOL program for various Discover, Amex, Visa and Mastercard mandated releases.
