Daily Duties at Atlantic Companies:

My Daily Tasks very depending on the Title's I held. One consistent task I tried to maintain was to keep my hands in development. From 1987 - 2000 I was a Technical Project Manager and developer. I worked on Large Cobol\IMS-DC applications running on IBM mainframe. During these years I was heavily involved in converting the Legacy Claims system to a Client Server application. The base system was a vendor product. The system was heavily modified through stored procedures and triggers. This project took 3 years to implement I also was give the task to assist in converting the Legacy Policy Management system written in Cobol\IMS-DC to a Client Server application written in centura(It's like VB3). The base system was a vendor system in which was heavily modified. Many external applications were written in VB6 to support this application. I had to write interfaces between systems to pass data into subsystems. I provide Mainframe and Client server support for on-going projects as well as being a technical lead for the development staff. I also managed projects and provided direction for other staff members assigned to me. I did provide performance review every 6 months and annually. In 2000-2002 I was IT director over 34 developers. . Assisted IT staff in analysis/design of systems as needed and led System Development team of thirty-four developers with two to three contractors. Provided technical support when time permitted, hired/fired staff members, conducted annual reviews, and oversaw IT Division’s two million dollar budget report. Worked with Senior Manager in establishing annual goal and forecasting potential directions in technologies for the company. From 2002-2006 I be came a Project Manager\Software Developer\Technical Specialist. This career change was done so I could spend all of my technical skills in supporting the Client Server\Web Application support.
