As an IBM iSeries DBA, I worked closely with programming staff and managers in recommending best coding practices such as enforcing DDL coding standards, recommending SQL optimizations in code, and proper design of tables and other iSeries/DB2 related objects. I was also the lead on encrypting data at rest such as social security numbers, account numbers, etc. I was also responsible for the development and implementation of consuming and providing web services on the iSeries using native RPG and SQL (no third party libraries) and deploying web services using IBM Integrated Web Server (IWS).
