I am a senior systems programmer with experience on a wide variety of languages and platforms. I have participated in the design and development of two operating systems, and am familiar with low level details of several communications protocols. I have experience in MVS through z/OS 1.4, including internals through OS/390 2.9, and have experience in VM/SP, including internals. My preferred languages are HLA (assembler) and PL/I, but I have also used Ada, C, CLIST, COBOL, FORTRAN, Perl, REXX and SAS. I've written ISPF dialogs, local modifications, REXX function packages (CMS and TSO), SVC routines, TSO commands, user exits and utilities. I've done configuration & tuning, dump reading, installation of modifications, products and service via SMP/E, IPCS, JES2, performance monitoring, problem diagnosis and repair, security, Unix System Services, VSAM and VTAM.
