management budgets for large scale operations ($20M+) based on
product\industry trends
Hardware Environments
- SUN (E10000, E6500, V880, E450), Tandem Himalaya (S74000, K20000),
Intel/Microsoft (Servers, Workstations), HP 9000, IBM RS6000, SGI (Origin,
Challenge), IBM Mainframe
Software and Development Environments
- RDBMS (Oracle, NS-SQL, Informix, SQL Server), C, C++, Java, COBOL,
Fortran, Assembly
Major Projects:
- Create an integrated corporate data repository to automate and streamline
all phases of the business cycle from sales forecasting to product delivery
including design, manufacturing, inventory, accounting and data mining.
Project Manager.
- Development of a computer aided software engineering tool to automate
routine entry, maintenance and reporting of database tables. Project Manager.
- Migrate a major telecommunications application into a new data center
without disruption to the customer base. Project Manager.
- Design and implement the first OLTP based cellular phone industry
application in support of seamless roaming between carriers. Project Manager
for hardware design/implementation and 3rd party software
implementation. Team member for application software design and
implementation.
- Design and implement customer support services system to interactively
provide detailed analysis of customer activity and aggregate workloads on
network processing elements that were involved in processing customer
transactions. Project Manager for hardware design/implementation and 3rd
party software implementation. Team member for application software design and
implementation.
- Redefine hardware and database requirements for high volume fraud detection
application to keep up with inbound transaction volumes and high processing
loads. Project Manager.
- Identify target applications from exiting product lines and define common
software design and implementation criteria to allow the re-use of a
significant SUN hardware platform. Significant cost savings were recognized by
integrating applications onto a common platform. Project Manager for
feasibility and common criteria analysis.
- Migrate a major pre-paid wireless application processing environment from an
IBM RS-6000 environment to a clustered high-availability SUN environment.
Project Manager for hardware design/implementation and 3rd party
software Implementation. Team member for application software port and
implementation.
- Consolidate over 20 small, independent UNIX systems used in development and
testing into 6 large systems divided between development and testing efforts.
Hardware and software depreciation and maintenance costs in the larger, more
robust environment were lower than with the small systems. The consolidation
effort also allowed the use of a common set of tools and development
methodologies to be used resulting in lower application development and
maintenance costs. Project Manager for hardware design/implementation.
- Arranged for a major computer vendor to provide over $2M of hardware at zero
cost to the company while migration plans were created and implemented to
upgrade a major applications middleware, operating system and hardware
platform. A major upgrade of application capabilities was incorporated into
the upgrade project, including zero downtime application failover to a remote
site. Project Manager for hardware/network design/implementation and 3rd
party software implementation. Team member for application software design and
implementation.
- Upgrade hardware and application software design to provide
single-system-image across 3 processing nodes for a high volume OLTP
application. Application volumes were growing at 20% per year which required
the implementation of a more flexible hardware and software architecture to
allow sustained growth. Project Manager for hardware/network
design/implementation and 3rd party software implementation. Team
member for application software design and implementation.
- Provide design and implementation criteria for a major consolidation of WEB
based and other multi-tiered applications. The scope of the recommendations
incorporated the update of existing applications to common development
methodologies, standard middleware products, a single RDBMS standard, common
hardware platform standards based on the operational tier, a common network
and security infrastructure, storage area networking standards and common
business continuity standards. Project Manager for hardware/network
design/implementation and 3rd party software implementation. Team
member for application software design and implementation.
