Senior Programmer/Analyst

• Aug 1998 - Apr 2014

• Designed, coded, tested and integrated statistical analysis data description report generator of structured securities. • Gained hands-on experience with C++, Java and Sybase SQL through formal and informal training. • Maintained, modified and updated legacy FORTRAN and C code with Unix shell scripts used to validate CMO and ABS input feed data for completeness, accuracy and syntax. • Gained working knowledge of structured securities data for MBSs, CMOs and ABSs. • Interfaced with users to analyze and gather requirements for application development and modification. • Increased efficiency of groups by promoting adherence to standardized software design, development and testing processes throughout the applications' life cycle. • Promoted use of sophisticated software configuration management tool for use on multi-person/multi-phase application development projects; resulted in increased software staff productivity and greatly reduced incidents of application failures. Group's methodologies used as models for other departments. Show less

Consultant Programmer/Analyst

• 1995 - 1998

--Designed, coded, debugged and integrated real-time embedded software for assorted applications. --Improved efficiency of Monte Carlo noise simulator by creating and implementing proprietary, faster random number generator. --Converted legacy Fortran navigation/trajectory code into OO (Ada); debugged and corrected several design and algorithm errors thereby yielding more accurate results with shorted processing time. --Designed, coded, debugged and integrated real-time embedded software for assorted applications. --Improved efficiency of Monte Carlo noise simulator by creating and implementing proprietary, faster random number generator. --Converted legacy Fortran navigation/trajectory code into OO (Ada); debugged and corrected several design and algorithm errors thereby yielding more accurate results with shorted processing time.

Principal Analyst
