 April 1998 - January,03 (Keane, Inc., (Ithaca, NY)

 Until 1/04/2003 I was a member of an AO (Application Outsourcing) 
 support team at New York State Electric & Gas Corp. We provided 
 24/7 coverage of the corporation's legacy systems and handled
 both minor and major enhancements to those systems. These were
 the Payroll, Human Resources Systems, Customer Information Systems
 and Properties and Assets Systems. We provided design, code and
 test, plus implementation activities for systems based primarily
 in IMS and DB2. I employed SAS, PL/I and Easytrieve, VSAM, MVS,
 JCL and Roscoe as well. Also worked several months at the Xerox
 Corp., Rochester, completing projects in VB 6.0 which performed
 integrity checking of 'book factory' hardware using real time
 signals accross the RS-232 serial port.

 As a Sr. Programmer/Analyst, I handled Year 2000-code analysis
 and re-engineering at a major computer manufacturer's site (IBM).
 These were modules originally developed in COBOL II and PL/I.
 Environment:  Win95, COBOL, MVS, VM, ISPF, COBOL II, 
               IMS, DB2.

               Vestal, NY)

 As a Sr. Programmer/Analyst, I designed, coded, tested, and 
 implemented new programs and modified existing programs in a 
 manufacturing environment that was involved with papers and 
 chemicals for the film and photo copying industry (Anitec).
 These included payroll, human resources and warehousing systems.
 Work was done from high level specs, included all phases.
 Environment:  DOS/VSE, COBOL, ICCF, CICS, VSAM, RPG

 As a Sr. Programmer/Analyst, I designed, coded, tested, and 
 implemented new programs and modified existing programs at a 
 major manager of 401K deferred compensation funds (Prudential). 
 These programs were the core of a 'loans processing' system made 
 available to enrollees at their respective employer locations.
 All work was from very high level specs. Subsequently, the 3rd
 party vendor (Sungaard/Omni) made the system part of their core
 offering.

 As a Sr. Programmer/Analyst, I designed, coded, tested, and 
 implemented new programs and modified existing programs comprising 
 a major factory shop floor control and scheduling 'operating' system 
 at a large computer manufacturing site (IBM). Code named CIMPAC, the 
 system was a major component of the manufacturing process in the USA 
 and several foreign locations, providing real-time access to 
 processes. It was coded entirely in Basic Assembler Language.
 In addition I provided new enhancements to inventory  
 systems based in COBOL and IMS.  
 Environment:  MVS/TSO, VM/CMS, COBOL, PL/1, DB2, IMS DB/DC, 
               Basic Assembler

 Working independently, I am designing, coding and 
 implementing a resident dietary requirements and monitoring
 system for a large skilled nursing facility, (The N.Y.S.
 Veteran's Home in Oxford, NY). The system was built around
 a proprietary database and MS DOS plus MS compiled 'QBasic'. 
 It functions five times daily to allow developement of programmed 
 tray cart loading and food selection as well as nourishment
 tracking for nursing home residents. As the original author, I
 am now converting the system to Python, HTML as a web-based 
 system.
