Description
SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS * Twenty-five years of employed experience as a programming professional. Enhanced many computer programs, including those on business, engineering and military applications. Solved and corrected numerous software problems resulting in improved productivity of the companies that I was working for. * Programmed in COBOL for all employers, using IBM OS JCL, Unisys (formerly Univac) Accomplishments include: * Restructured data base on main frame computer by modifying schema, then selectively dumping data from the data base onto magnetic tapes, then loading the data off these magnetic tapes back into the modified data base. Application was spare parts inventory control for nuclear power plant for Bechtel Power Corp. This effort met the projected goal of reducing computer time and disk storage billed to user by customer. * Successfully prepared and ran pipe stress analysis program for prestigious customer (Westinghouse) successfully creating extensive job control language overnight. Brought credit and increased professional recognition to my employer at that time (Bechtel) as well as to myself * Participated in successful implementation of Y2K software conversion that met company compliance standards (Comprised approximately 800 COBOL programs run on PCs). Personal tasks included analysis, coding, and testing. * Participated in new development and successful implementation of Los Angeles County Voters Registration Elections Preparation System (VREPS) written in COBOL.Software successfully implemented and used by customer, L.A. County Registrar of Voters. Involved separately run sorting of 3 million+ records that were input and processed without error by the above mentioned program on IBM large main frame computers. Products included hard-copy sign-in rosters used by voters to sign in at voting precinctswhen voting in nation-wide elections Other related duties included integration of computer programs into system and support of round-the-clock testing of system. * Participated in reprogramming and successful implementation of file build program the concept was conceived by my supervisor but was implementaed by me. It was run before each county-wide election andas a result of running this program dedicated run time on IBM main frame computer to accomplish this task was reduced from 24 hours to 8 hours * As section head of 3-man team participated in development of real-time command and control systems on aerospace (Apollo Project) with successful delivery and operation of Apollo mission specific software. * Participated in testing and development of US Navy anti-submarine warfare software. * Identified and corrected bugs in real time command and control system in sub-program integration.phase of software development life-cycle that resolved other seemingly unrelated system problems Solutions to these problems had eluded many of the best minds on programming facilitywhere I worked. . * Veteran of Vietnam era, U. S Air Force, Washington, D.C., four years active duty, honorable discharge.Duties were programming on military personnel applications sending computer generated reports to Headquarters, U.S. Air Force, at the Pentagon, VA.
