I am an experienced programmer analyst. I started writing code on the mainframes using COBOL, CICS, JCL, VSAM files and DB2. When my position required it, I began coding for 3 tier client server using Visual Basic, SQL Server and Microsoft Visual Studio. I recently used Python to write a few programs for data analysis. Through the years I have worked in several industries, Healthcare, Heavy Manufacturing, Insurance, Auto Manufacturing and Banking. I find that of these industries, I like manufacturing the most. There is just something about being part of creating a real tangible product roll off the assembly line that can’t be beat.I have a track record of success in both in-house and consulting roles for industry leaders including Humana, Ford, UPS, Nationwide Insurance, JP Morgan Chase and Honda of America Manufacturing. I have a demonstrated history of effective conversion and integration of mainframe and multi-tiered client server architectures for unified data collection, analysis, and reporting across multiple platforms, systems, and departments.I have a thorough understanding of best practices and methodologies (SDLC, CMMi, Lean, Agile and DevOps) spanning legacy mainframe systems to PC three tier client server systems. I have experience managing applications through the full life cycle.
