• Experience Summary: I have over 10 years’ experience in COBOL, DB2, CICS, SQL, QMF, SPUFI, TELON, and JCL, with some experience in VSAM. I initially worked for a fortune 8 company and was responsible for the largest COBOL/CICS/TELON application which was the largest consumer of system resources. I was responsible for re-engineering the system to improve performance and use less resources. I was able to take the system from the largest consumer of resources to fifth of five extra large applications. I also had the privilege to work for a large financial firm and worked on the customer batch systems.
