Expertise in CICS Online/ Batch applications designing and coding Performed analysis of current functionality and recommend process improvements for enhancement. Expertise in knowledge acquisition, system study, architecture analysis documentation. Developed JCL's and PROC's to execute COBOL Codes and also prepared Production version JCL'S Developed programs with COBOL, DB2, CICS and VSAM combination. Performed and led the teams responsible for various phases of testing through the course of the project: Unit Testing of Codes on the basis of developed Unit Test Documents. Integration testing that tested functionality as well as compatibility of the developed Mainframe application with interfacing systems. Involved in User Acceptance Testing to test the overall functionality against Business Requirement document Involved in pre-implementation activities like developing deployment plan, develop Job scheduling, acquiring necessary accesses and developing disaster recovery and roll back plan. Involved in Implementation phase of the project Involved in Post- Production support that included defect trouble shooting and implementing planned deployments. Conversant with all phases of project Life Cycle including Requirement gathering, Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Testing, Software quality standards and configuration management and change management and Quality procedures. Proficient in Software Development Life Cycle SDLC , CMM, CMMI processes An individual with proven leadership, administrative, communication, organizational skills. Have a good combination of technical, communication and interpersonal skills, which provide the ability to be an effective mediator between programmers, end-users and clients. Highly motivated with the ability to work effectively in teams as well as independently Involved in Quality Assurance activities like defect logging, defect analysis and developing checklists and defect reduction techniques like standardization of codes.
