EXPERIENCE
Web Programming Training
August 2003 – May 2008
Client/server, web, and OOD programming student and tutor at Madison Area Technical College. Tutored students in mainframe, Visual Basic, and OO languages. Classes listed at the end of the resume.
Computer Sciences Corporation and USAA
May 2003 – July 2003
For Computer Sciences Corporation and USAA, was part of the programming team maintaining and debugging automobile insurance software. The system consisted of a Gupta SQLWindows client/server front end, IBM mainframe edits, and a DB2 database. The client/server code made extensive use of handle objects to refer to the data residing on the DB2 database.
American Family Insurance
September 2004 – March 2005
Participated in the quality control, system, and performance testing of the new client/server Agency Data System. System tested with and without prepared scripts. Used SQABasic scripting to performance test applications, the database, and local area network configurations in a simulated insurance agency. Recommended changes to the coding team.
Lands’ End
April 2004 – July 2004
Was part of the support team for the CICS and batch VSAM COBOLII order entry systems. Performed analysis, coded, tested, and documented maintenance to the above systems, which are the heart of Lands Ends’ operations. Wrote the users’ security manual for the on-line order entry system.
Wisconsin Physician Service
September 2003 – February 2004
Performed maintenance on the on-line claims processing system. On-line claims are written to transient data queues. An automatic transaction initiator with a trigger level of one starts a transaction to edit the claim in the transient data queue. Once the transaction is complete the claim is written to a different transient data queue, and a different transaction to continue editing the data is started. In order to check claims history this system makes extensive use of temporary storage and VSAM.
WI Department of Employee Trust Funds
December 2002 - July 2003
Was responsible for the coding, and testing of a batch and on-line CICS, DB2, COBOLII system for SSN deletion.
The on-line program writes to the system-wide data entry DB2 table. The daily batch portion sorts and down loads the data entry table to a flat file. A COBOLII DB2 program performs extensive edits, prefixes the bad SSN’s with a ‘D’, writes a report, and writes extensive reconciliation entries to the existing reconciliation system. The annual COBOLII DB2 portion performs edits to insure all amounts have been rolled over to zeros, and deletes the ‘D’ ssn’s from the database.
WI Department of Transportation
December 2001 – December 2002
For the WI Department of Transportation, was responsible for the detail design, coding, and testing for the addition of Metric data to the CICS, COBOLII, DB2, and batch COBOLII DB2 bridge data systems.
The data entry portion of the on-line was converted to Metric input, with the maintenance of English data transparent to the user. Edits were added to keep both the metric and English data within their respective ranges on the database. Both the English and the metric data will be maintained on the database. The inquiry portion of the on-line was modified to display the data as either metric or English, with PF6 used as a toggle. The batch reporting system now offers the option of English or Metric units of measure, with the option entered as a JCL symbolic parameter. Thirty three on-line programs and four batch programs were modified to handle metric data.
Viasoft Smartest on-line was used to locate and correct existing problems in the systems as well.
WI Department of Administration
September 2000 – December 2001
Was responsible for the detail design, coding and testing of CICS, COBOLII, VSAM systems for small file maintenance.
Because of the small size of the files, they are loaded into main memory at user log-on time using the CICS LOAD PROGRAM () SET ADDRESS OF () command, thus establishing addressability through the linkage section. Files are read from main memory, get updated as VSAM, and then the VSAM data gets re-loaded into the main memory program locations. Three on-line systems comprised of two programs each were developed.
SPR Consulting and Great Lakes Higher Education
June 2000 – August 2000.
Was responsible for the detail design, coding, and testing of a CICS, COBOLII, DB2, program for student account inquiry. The program allows the user to select: the account, account variables, control break criteria, data format, and browse 'page'.
The program code: validates the user input, moves the user input to a screen 'shadow area' in the commarea, queries the data base according to the select criteria, dynamically calls several subroutines, calculates screen information, and writes the screen information to Temporary Storage queue pages. Commarea data, TS Queue data, and internal program logic allow the user to skip directly to either the desired control break or the desired TS 'page' of data.
WI Department of Health and Social Services
June 1999 - June 2000
Was part of the KIDS design, development, QA/QC, and administration team. The team’s job was to analyze a different state’s child support information system, determine what business changes needed to be made to make it work for Wisconsin’s system, pass those specifications on to the development team, and then follow up with all necessary system tests. Individually wrote complex test scripts for the new system
WI Department of Transportation
June 1998 – June 1999
Was responsible for the detail design, coding, and testing of COBOLII systems for loading and maintaining the new highway inventory DB2 database. Was also responsible for the analysis, design, coding, testing, and implementation of the COBOLII DB2 dynamically called subroutine for the conversion of highway segment location data from the visual to the new GIS location system.
Control break COBOLII, DB2 programs assemble highway inventory data. At control break time the COBOLII DB2 subroutine gets called to convert the highway segment from the visual to the GUI location system. The inventory and location data are then used to build the DB2 database tables.
The highway maintenance system uses QSAM input to update, and sometimes move inventory data from the old highway segment (DB2 table rows) to the new.
Department of Industry, Labor, and Human Relations
January 1998 – June 1998
Was responsible for the design, coding, testing, user sign-off, and implementation of a CICS, COBOLII, VSAM system for on-line financial account browse and update. The system allows the user to browse financial accounts, and set flags on individual records. The flags trigger dunning letters in the batch system.
Chicago Board of Trade Clearing Corporation
August 1997 – December 1997
Was responsible for the new development of a CICS financial transaction browse and allocation system, and the current margin calculation program. The CICS system allows brokers to select, browse, verify, and further allocate recent trades.
The margin calculation program makes extensive use of tables. Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk parameters are read from two files into seven tables. The day's trades are read into a different table, with control breaks on firm/account/origin. Margins are calculated after looking up the SPAR parameters and considering all possible hedging.
Margin requirement data is summarized by exchange, commodity, financial group, inter-commodity spreads, inter-month spreads, and firm portfolio, in summary tables. The summary data is then written to an output file which interfaces with the margin reporting system.
The margin calculation program is largely responsible for over $200 million nightly in margin requirements. The interest on the margins generates the lion’s share of the operating revenue of the CBOTCC.
ISSC (a health care insurance software provider)
May 1997 - August 1997
Was on the programming team responsible for converting an on-line claims handling system to accept batch claims submission via tapes, from two outside sources. For this client wrote a COBOL sort/merge program of incoming files, report program of new claims to be viewed on-line, and produced production JCL for the next release of the software.
Philip Morris/Kraft/General Foods
November 1996 – March 1997
Was responsible for the detail design, coding, testing, and documentation of new promotional coupon processing reports and forecasts. The programs validated user variables entered in the JCL, and used the variables and COBOL internal sorts to produce control break reports and forecasts, according to user request. The forecasts were calculated from existing data in the coupon history system, and were used to predict sales and redemptions as a result of coupon promotions. Maintenance was also performed on the existing report and forecasting systems.
Hartmarx Specialty Stores Inc. (a national clothing manufacturer and retailer)
March 1995 - October 1996
Was responsible for the user contact, requirement determination, analysis, design, coding, testing, implementation, documentation, and maintenance of a new month-end reporting system. The system reports sales, discounts, expenses, freight, and profitability by department, store, and company. Menu-driven on-line programs browse the new data. The CICS programs can also submit MVS JCL which calls jobs to direct detailed hard copy reports to the user's remote printer.
These programs were the first COBOLII and CICS programs written for the Accounts Payable system, and served as skeletons for future development. Light maintenance was also performed on RPGII programs residing outside the Accounts Payable group.
Neosynetics (IBM business partner conversion specialist)
September 1994 – March 1995
Was responsible for the design, coding, testing, implementation, and modification of IBM on-line data entry systems. Three menu-driven Command Level COBOLII CICS systems were developed. The data entry programs validate, add, insert, update, delete, and browse data entry records using either a primary key or an alternate KSDS index. The systems comprised the majority of the data entry for a newly acquired subsidiary. The systems covered auto, health, life, premiums, claims, payments, and reinsurance.
Other responsibilities included developing and testing production MVS JCL job streams up to 45 steps in length.
