EXPERIENCE

INTEC OUTSOURCING SERVICES (Formerly EUR Systems and EUR Datacenter) 	1995 –
2007
Programmer Analyst	1997 – 2007
Used UNISYS A-Series and Open VAX/VMS mainframe technology to write and maintain
batch and online programs for telephone company billings.  Helped to organize and
distribute workloads and maintained documentation in order to follow the System
Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to ensure SAS-70 audit compliance.
· Saved significant travel dollars through implementation of a local staff
training solution for modifying D&E Communications’ programs on their VAX/VMS
system using Cobol.
· Responsible for a 3 year 130 hour per month D&E contract renewal by exceeding
customer’s standards for service and technical excellence.
· Eliminated 75% of the time spent entering AT&T Wholesale customer’s
international toll rates.  Implemented a flat file system to replace multiple
cumbersome programs.
· Designed a process on the VAX/VMS system in Cobol to allow D&E users to enter
new equipment bundles via a screen and data file to replace a hard-coded library
system.  This saved about 10 hours per added bundle and increased accuracy.
· Regularly interacted with clients to clarify and then implement their needs.
Computer Programmer	1995 – 1997
Used UNISYS A-Series mainframe technology to write and maintain calling plans
and other telephone billing programs in Cobol.
· Developed a customized billing system for Vermont Telephone (VTel) that
exceeded customer’s requirements and timeline.
· Created new libraries to hold sections of code that had been duplicated in
multiple programs.  Reduced the amount of time needed to add new calling plans by
at least 25%, helped to balance the billings to the penny and eliminated many
errors.
· Wrote a new calling plan for Woodbury Telephone that selected the city or
cities the customer called most, so special rates could be applied.  By using
indexed tables and files, the run-time of the program was cut in half.
