Interface programs for transfer of meter data between the client programs and
third party interfaces. I also designed and maintained programs that extracted
data from the billing tables on the DB2 relational database for transfer to the
Sanitation department for their billing system and a Cost of Services report. I
was also responsible for the implementation and maintenance of a client/server
application utilizing MicrosoftSQL server and Microsoft Word.   During the last 2

the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Using COBOL I designed and developed programs
to permit automated testing significantly increasing productivity.

SAUDI NAVAL FORCES, Jubail and Riyadh Saudi Arabia. I was responsible for
development of Logistics Applications from conception through analysis, design,
programming, testing and full implementation. Applications were done in Natural
and COBOL. The system was originally anIMS system but was converter to DB2.
ADABAS was used for smaller applications and DB2 for larger more complex systems.
Major accomplishments during this period included: Managed the conversion of 5
systems fromIMS/COBOL to DB2/Natural within a six-month period. Taught
programmers from diverse nationality groups Natural, DB2,JCL and SQL while
maintaining full operations. Created, implemented and managed user testing for
receiving of a large complex system developed by theU.S. Navy for the RSNF
resulting in the correction of more than 500 errors before acceptance of the
system. Designed processes and procedures for “TEAM PROGRAMMING” which greatly
increased the speed of new development. Implemented automated reporting of
progress and status of development tasks.

April 88 - Aug 90. CACI Inc., Fairfax Virginia. Worked with the SAACONS project
which was the Automated Small Procurement and Contracting System used by all U.S.
Army Procurement and contracting Offices and many other government agencies.
Began as a senior trainer responsible for classroom and hands on training of
procurement and contracting specialists. Promoted to Fielding Manager of the
FEDERAL SACONS Project where I was responsible for all Post Sales Customer

assignments with increasing responsibilities. Most of my assignments were in
administrative or logistical positions. I retired as a Chief Warrant

EDUCATION:   Attending night classes with the University of Maryland and the
University of Texas at El Paso I successfully completed the core requirements and
I was a Distinguished Graduate of the Computer Learning Center in Springfield
Virginia where I completed courses on Computer Programming (COBOL and RPG) and
systems Analysis. Since these were accredited college level courses I believe I
have the equivalent of a Bachelors Degree.
