EXPERIENCE
05/98 –
10/02 -- Consultant at Perot Systems
Functioned
as the Y2K Project Lead. Performed all the initial Y2K analysis in
preparation of the conversion of the four Tenet Health Care Systems and later
converted all four as a one man project. Converted of 250+
COBOL programs to COBOL II and later, after Y2K, to COBOL MVS/390 LE.
Authored documents to address JCL standardization and wrote up the SPECS for
the Team to make the necessary modifications. Investigated and implemented a
plan to migrate all four applications to ENDEVOR from the manual PDS system. Manually reverse engineered logic to replace lost and missing COBOL
source. Set up testing procedures, customized JCL and test data for all
the Unit and System tests that were conducted. Authored COBOL conversion
programs to enable In House Report Bundling to covert to XP-Deliver. Performed application
maintenance, production support, application system design and implementation.
I set up a
dedicated test environment which included all the necessary documentation to be
utilized by team members in order to conduct testing scenarios. The test script
gave team members the advantage to
commence at various points in order to mimic the production cycle for a
specific day or even pin point a day from months gone by.
Worked
on special projects outside of our DSS Support Team for other groups including
the IMMS team, which support the IDMS and COBOL II Online / Batch applications,
and the Payroll GENYSYS Team.
