Specific Systems Projects:

• At Nixdorf Computer Software Company, I designed and developed major modifications to the VSE operating system, such as smarter IPL logic, additional supervisor calls, streamlining fetch logic. Part of the design and development process is the design of extensive testing requirements to ensure the integrity of the modified process.

• When James River Corporation, an east coast company, acquired Crown Zellerbach, a west coast company, the decision was made to consolidate the two data centers. The migration of processing from the west coast data center to the east coast data center had to take place over a weekend, such that when users signed on Monday morning following the migration, the geographic change was transparent. This was accomplished without a hitch as a result of extensive research and planning prior to the actual migration. I held full responsibility for the migration of the VM platform. I led the research and planning effort, and oversaw the successful three day culmination of the project.

• James River Corporation’s growth in the early and mid-80’s was explosive, resulting in a steep curve in demand for processing power. On the MVS platform, I was responsible for performance and tuning, measuring current capacity against anticipated demand, and recommending hardware upgrades to keep pace with the growth of the company.

• Implementing VTAM on the VM system at James River required researching the existing network and a phased implementation. As lead systems programmer I oversaw the planning and completion of the project to take VM from a local host to an SNA platform.

• Designed and executed the disaster recovery process for the VM system at Philip Morris. Participated in the disaster recovery process of the OS/390 system.

• Implemented a scheduling system (Cybermation’s ESP) at VCU, from design to production, including assisting users in converting from existing manual processes to scheduled processes.

• VCU has an automation package (Candle’s AF/Operator) which I upgraded and then added intelligence to, giving it the capability to recognize various system problems and notify appropriate personnel via a variety of media.
