Job History

Confidential, Austin, TXJUN 1997 – JUN 2009
Engineer IT Software III

I spent majority of my time in Confidential’s Supply Chain/Planning Systems arena working as the senior programmer on the Austin specific version of Motorola\'s Material Requirements Planning (MRP) System that was developed in-house. This assignment consisted of on call support for over 100 batch jobs on the IBM OS/390 MVS mainframe as well as working with users to investigate any problems or concerns they had with the data they were provided with by the MRP system. This position required extensive use of the COBOL/COBOL II programming languages, Endevor code control, CA7/11, configuration management, TSO/ISPF development environment, VSAM file and access methods (IDCAMS), batch FTP jobs, and IBM utilities, and OS JCL. This software development process/environment was in accordance with SEI/CMM level 3. Some of the MRP data was pushed down to non MVS mainframe systems such as SUN E10000 enterprise server running Solaris, RS6000 running AIX, and IBM OS/390 running VM.

Confidential, St. Louis, MO JAN 1996 - JUN 1997
Principle Specialist Programmer/Analyst

I was a member on Confidential’s Integrated Human Resource Information System’s (IHRIS) technical support team serving as the UNIX technical specialist. Primary duties included acting as technical liaison between IHRIS project and IBM/ISSC personnel on UNIX related issues, installation and configuration of application (Peoplesoft (HRMS/Payroll)) and system software on IHRIS database servers HP9000 (T-520 and K-410). Established UNIX related development standards (batch MF COBOL and scripts), assisted the developers in migration of data and the porting of code from an IBM mainframe environment to a UNIX based client server configuration. Monitored system load and performance, provided ongoing programmer training in such areas as Micro Focus COBOL, HP COBOL SoftBench development environment, source code version control (RCS), UNIX script development (Korn shell and Perl) and program debugging.

Confidential, Marietta, GA APR 1992 - JAN 1996
IS Specialist

Programmer on Lockheed Confidential Methods Improvement Program (MIP) team whose goal was to bring all phases of F22 computer-aided design to the engineers’ desktop under a graphical user interface (GUI) with direct access to all computing resources using client/server technology. 200+ X-terminals were connected through 13 HP-9000/755 PA-RISC workstations networked to an IBM 3090, CONVEX (C3880) and VAX via FDDI. Computer applications were presented using a seamless (point and click) environment thereby shielding engineers from vendor specific commands (e.g. UNIX, IBM JCL, and VAX DCL). Development of this interface and associated code on HP 9000/755 workstations running HP-UX makes extensive use of OSF/Motif (X-windows/XLib) and "C" programming language. Half time was spent porting IBM MVS legacy programs (FORTRAN and ASSEMBLER) to HP UNIX workstations (FORTRAN and C). Remaining time was spent developing database applications under Oracle (Ver 7) and Oracle Forms (Ver 4) in support of F22 Structures engineering group.

Confidential. Denver, CO. AUG 1990 - APR 1992
Staff Engineer - Software
Performed system and software engineering during preliminary and critical design phases, supported technical reviews with users, presented design at formal reviews, provided inputs to database specification, created design specifications, created and maintained unit development folders and documentation, wrote, compiled, unit tested and supported code through formal test for the DSX program. Operating environment consisted of Unisys 1100 mainframe and Teradata DBC/1012 data base machine/engine. Responsible for message processing functions: this consisted of applying database updates from an external source to our local host via batch COBOL processing using multiple threads into the data base machine (Teradata).

Confidential SEP 1989 - AUG 1990
Systems Analyst
Duties included designing, developing, testing and maintaining application programs in a batch and on-line environment supporting a Collection Requirements Management System (CRMS) for the United States Air Force\'s Foreign Technology Division. Support included daily interaction with the customer in such areas as problem identification and resolution, new and changing requirements, user training, and occasional formal presentations or demonstrations of system functions and capabilities to distinguished visitors of other components of the United States Intelligence Community. Operating environment was an IBM 3090 equivalent machine running IBM VM/CMS release 5. Programming languages used include Oracle database, REXX, COBOL, ISPF Panels and Tables and PDF editor, CMS files, REXX scripts and VM/CMS operating system facilities.

Confidential Heidelberg, FRG
Project Test and Evaluation Task Leader
SEP 1987 - SEP 1989

Duties included performing integration and system level test activities (i.e. requirements mapping and traceability, test design and implementation strategies, and execution and documentation of test cases) for RAPIDE (Relocatable Army Processors for Intelligence Data Europe) Release 1 using DOD STD 7935. RAPIDE was a DOD TS/SCI intelligence information system running under IBM VM/CMS operating system utilizing Model 204 DBMS on an IBM 9370.
