Duties at Michigan State University – Administrative Information Services:
Design, maintain, and analyze the Accounts Receivable area of the Student Information System. I work closely with the Controller’s Office to support their needs. I’ve run the Internal Audit system for 1996 and 1997 to assist the MSU Internal Auditors. These functions are accomplished on an IBM mainframe using Cobol with IDMS database interfaces. I am also currently on a half-time assignment to the Digital Information Group. I use client/server technology to support administrative initiatives and applications. Training: DYL280, IDMS Batch/Online, MS Interdev, Quality, Essential Software Engineering, SQL Server, Active Server Pages, Student Information System Overview, GUI Design Techniques, MS Visual Studio 6.0, Facilitation Skills, XML.
Duties at BCN-HC:Design and maintain systems dealing with Actuarial functions, claims processing, membership reporting,, and data transfers from Blue Cross & Blue Shield to Health Central. My primary task is to support the medical business by running ADHOC reporting and development of software to support new initiatives, also to offer expertise to end users. The operating system is Pick locally and ISPF in BCBSM. All programs are written in Pick Basic and run on the General Automation mainframe. Training: WSF2, Diversity, Platinum, OSHA Compliance, AIX.
Duties at Jacobson's:Design and maintain POS (Point-of-Sale), Sales and Inventory, Payroll, and Sales Audit Software. I worked with the NCR 2154 and 2156 POS terminals. My main task was to develop and maintain software and customer support of that software. The programs were written in Cobol and CAT jobs were written in Neat/3. The operating system was Unix. Everything was run on a NCR mainframe. CICS was used for all database actions. Training: Unix System V.
Duties at EDS:Design and maintain software for the Product Purchasing, Sample, and Program Readiness systems. These are parts tracking and approval systems for General Motors. Using PL1, Cobol, and Cobol 2, I wrote new programs and maintained old programs. I re-wrote older less efficient programs on the Program Readiness System. I also wrote production jobs consisting of JCL. All programs and JCL were run on an IBM mainframe and tested on a LAN of IBM PC compatibles. IMS was used for all database actions. Training: Business of GM, PL1, Quality Education System (QES), Time Management, IMS Batch, IMS Online.
Duties at GTE/AG:I worked on the development team for ISDN and then moved to Network Recovery area. Design and maintain Network Recovery software for telecommunications switches as a MTS-1 (member of technical staff 1). Network Recovery is used for a switch to detect problems within itself and re-route traffic so that service is uninterrupted. The primary language used for coding was Pascal in a Unix environment. Apollo 4000 and IBM 3178 terminals were used for access to a Unix/TSO environments on the IBM mainframe. Prototype switch control for testing software also involved a microvax with MVS. My primary function was to trouble shoot the problems in the Growth area of Network Recovery. This area involved additions and deletions to the switch system. Training: Basic Telephony, ISPF Overview, GTD-5 Overview, GTD Pascal for Programmers, The Prototype Environment, Intro to ISDN, Intro to Apollo.
