Started in IBM mainframe world (OS/MVS, COBOL, Assembly, JCL), shifted to UNIX/C/RDBMS world (numerous UNIX variants, C, shells, SQL, Informix-4GL, Informix Servers),
then had my own ticketing business for years. Recently folded the business and seeking to re-enter industry rather than early retirement.
Hats worn: Application Developer/Analyst, Regency Support, Applications and Deployment Consultant, Resolution Support, Product Development. Platform Engineering.
Career-long customer advocate and, frankly, force multiplier. I became such a go-to problem solver at Informix that the annual Outstanding Team Player award was created in my honor.
I thrive on diagnosis and on removing obstacles so that my entire team can focus on what each member does best. Very good technical writer and documentation/spec reviewer.
My currently difficulty is lack of experience in current stacks that the cool kids have. I can learn anything, but I won't lie about what I bring to the door initially.
I'm a lifelong native of the South Bay and still live here. Struggling with RTO staffing? I'm available immediately.
