SUMMARY

I have over 20 years in Information Systems as a Programmer/Analyst and Systems/Analyst. My expertise includes designing and developing mainframe business applications using COBOL II, COBOL, CICS, DPS and most IBM and UNISYS support utilities and tools in both Batch and On-line environments. Relational and hierarchical database experience includes DB2, IDMS,IMS,DMS and VSAM. I have experience with large development teams and have acted as Team/Project leader for some projects. I prefers to stay active in hands on coding and implementation and I am very adaptable to all mainframe technologies. My can do personality along with my vast experience and technical skills makes me a strong asset to any project, whether its new development or resolutions of day to day production support problems.
