Exelon transitioned application support to a select group of key partners - Infosys, Accenture, and Tata Consultancy Services. This transition program is called Exelon's Strategic Partner Program (SPP). The Electric & Support Services group that I am a member of is partnered with Infosys. The duties of my position are to coordinate Infosys's support efforts and provide second level support for numerous applications. I induct new applications into the Exelon environment via the Architecture Engagement Form (AEF) process. I learned the Tap Root methodology and software in order to conduct an Apparent Cause Evaluation (ACE). I produced a thorough root cause analysis and report detailing the causal factors as well as numerous corrective actions to prevent a repeat incident. The report was accepted, all corrective actions were implemented and to date there have been no repeat incidents of this nature. More recently I have been using PowerBI to produce descriptive statistics and conduct analyses on our various work request tickets.

I was a member of the Total Outage Application (TOA) implementation and support team for PHI. TOA is an enterprise level application developed by Sun-Net and is an Exelon North Star application. TOA is logging software used primarily by the electric system operators. Now that TOA has been implemented at PHI, I am supporting the effort to expand its capabilities and interface it with other systems. I am also involved in the planning and implementation of TOA in the other Eastern Exelon Subsidiaries. I continue to support the Landis & Gyr GRIDiant product (Reliability, Voltage Monitoring, and Asset Loading modules). These modules are all actively maintained, and we continue to roll out significant upgrades which substantially increase the functionality and utility of all three of the application modules. I also continue to support a host of smaller applications including various in house VB.NET applications using both SQL Server and ORACLE backends. These applications use a mixture of reporting packages including both Crystal Reports and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). I also support some legacy MS Access applications implemented with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

I support AdvanceXing Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic in the evenings and weekends as needed. My family owns this business and I do what I can to support it. I provide desktop, server, and network support to AdvanceXing. I build custom SQL reports from Medisoft data residing in a regularly refreshed copy of the Sybase Advantage Database backend. I am the company book keeper and maintain the company books using QuickBooks Pro and assist AdvanceXing's accountant. Finally, I perform the initial review all business contracts in preparation for submission to AdvanceXing's attorney.

I was the IT lead for the team that the maintains the ABB Asset Reliability Data Warehouse. As a member of this team, we substantially enhanced the performance and reliability of the ETL process for the data warehouse which makes the bulk processing of large data sets significantly faster and more reliable. In addition to retaining all my other responsibilities from my previous Application Specialist 4 position, I was also the primary internal support person for the Advanced Grid Analytics (AGA) application, PHI’s enterprise Electric Reliability Planning tool. AGA is a Landis & Gyr product. The PHI implementation of AGA includes the Reliability module, the Voltage Monitoring Module and the Asset Loading Module. I was the key internal IT support person and was a key team member for the implementation team of these product modules.

I continue to support the Power Delivery Business unit though my current position has a dual focus. I maintain, troubleshoot, and validate Business Intelligence Extract Transform Load (ETL) processes. The data is warehoused in ORACLE. Ventyx's Obvient Strategies Information Service (OSIS) runs the ETL processes. My second focus is custom application development using Visual Basic .NET 2010 and maintain legacy MS Access applications. When necessary the Access applications are being transitioned to an SQL Server Backend.

The merger of Conectiv and Pepco Holdings, Inc. closed on August 1, 2002. I continued to develop and support various applications for the Power Delivery Business Unit during this transition. My duties included: Custom Application Development with Visual Basic .NET and Crystal Reports. Support legacy MS Access applications. Convert MS Access applications to an MS SQL Server backend when appropriate. Conducted a Sarbanes Oxley compliance review of all my applications in partnership with PHI internal audit.

I was Editor in Chief of the text titled, V2G-101 (Vehicle to Grid 101). Vehicle to Grid is a technology which enables a future of clean and efficient electric-powered transportation. V2G-101 explains how the interaction of electric drive cars with the electric grid can improve the reliability of the electric grid and earn an income for the electric vehicle owner. The book contains 341 pages with 240-foot notes and an appendix of over 100 past, current, and near-future electric drive vehicles. This book was written by fellow PHI employee, Len Beck. I performed extensive research in the area of V2G as part of my duties. In addition to editing the entire text, I authored the forward and parts of the Fuel Cell chapter (Chapter 14) of the text. After the book was published, I promoted the book to various local book stores and various community groups.

By this time, I had transitioned into a new position, developing and supporting various applications for the Power Delivery Business Unit of Conectiv. My duties included: Custom Application Development with Visual Basic .NET and Crystal Reports. Support legacy MS Access applications. Convert MS Access applications to an MS SQL Server backend when appropriate. Conducted a Sarbanes Oxley compliance review of all my applications in partnership with Conectiv internal audit.

At this point in my career, I transferred from the Database Marketing Group to a new position where I provided IT support to the HR Business Unit. My primary assignment was development work on Conectiv’s Benefit Management System. This Custom application development effort used VB 6, SQL Server, and Crystal Reports. I also performed some VBA programming with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access.

Working with PhD level statisticians we built systems that Conectiv's marketing Department utilized to target the best prospects for broadening Conectiv's energy sales into what had been PECO only areas, I created marketing variables from Dun and Bradstreet's business data base. The data were successfully merged with area demographic data extracted from the Infomark System to form variables used to analyze the results from mailing Cross Sections. Logistic models were built with SAS using the data I prepared as predictor variables. Model scores were then ranked into decile groupings and Marketing selected the names in the top deciles. I understood the selected names delivered significantly higher profits than did the whole list. The process was later formalized and provided Conectiv with a system that was used by Marketing to provide consumers with telecommunication offers. Any prospect who was registered on the Direct Marketing Association's "Do not promote" list was suppressed from our mailing lists.

As a member of the Centrell Group, I provided consulting services to Conectiv which is the company that later merged with Pepco to become PHI. My employers were so pleased with my performance that they offered me a full-time job at Conectiv which I accepted. My job responsibilities included: Database development using MS Access; SAS Programming; Data conversion; Data mining using InfoMark (a package later acquired by their competitor Compass).

Morgan Computer Services was a Delaware based consulting firm that employed me as a computer programmer. I performed custom application development and support for several companies including a local Delaware based bank, a Philadelphia restaurant chain, a tutoring firm based in Delaware, and a Delaware realtor. I also had a central role in implementing Morgan Computer Service's home page. My key responsibilities included: Custom application development using Visual Basic and MS Access; Web page design using MS Front Page and Corel Draw; Hardware and software support.
