ABOUT

Full Stack Developer

        Having contributed my talents in IT to improving the services of organizations in the finance, marketing, manufacturing, travel, transportation and steel industries. I seek a company in need of someone with exceptional wide range IT experience and leadership skills. I offer my experience and abilities in grasping requirements and formulating specifications with new technologies in mind. Taking responsibility of a task or project to completion has been a distinct characteristic throughout my career.

          I care about my work and take pride in my accomplishments throughout the software development life cycles from planning, deployment, maintenance and support. Although more productive when working alone, I work well with others to meet big project objectives. The idiom “ Time is always of the essence” drives me to get up early. Focusing on my objectives, combined with sustained relentless, patient, and respectful attitude has helped me achieve my goals.

“Challenging projects motivate me to exceed expectations”.

  • On June 14, 2014 an unlimited civil complaint was filed by our 2nd counsel at the Orange County Superior Court in California against brokers and their officers for breach of contract, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentations and breach of fiduciary duty that led to foreclosure of Real Estate property that occurred in 2012. For the next four years the case dragged along. Finally, after several extension hearings, another court date was set. Two weeks before the Jury Trial date of 02/22/2016, I took over as Self-Represented plaintiff after my attorney filed and was granted ex parte to be relieved as counsel. He failed to file motion for discovery! The tasks to prepare for trial included learning and preparing motions on pleading paper and electronic filing to court. These tasks included but not limited to:

CBOE Systems Analyst

Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE)

Chicago, Illinois


ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Contract, Systems Engineer

  • Eleven years after leaving the company, my contract with KLM Cargo concluded and I returned as Systems Engineer - Consultant to reconfigure and expand the ailing Trading Data Base which reached a disturbing 93% capacity in October 1997. The now 16-year-old database, (designed back in 1981) had unnecessarily morphed into two redundant Electronic Book and Order Routing System databases that doubled in size with differing characteristics and access methods that in my opinion was a product of haste and regrettably poor planning.
  • Liability Risks due to the busy program trading had occurred when stock prices were not immediately synchronized from external databases as what happened in the Black Monday Stock Market Crash of October 19, 1987. I removed the redundancies and "spare expansion fields" and reconfigured the databases to a simpler form. A back-end API was developed to interface with both Electronic Book and Order Routing systems. The redesign and Database Expansion project was assurance tested and implemented in 1998.
  • My additional tasks included: Resolving numerous problems and work requests. Enhancing (GUI) screens, expanding system database global tables. Expanding 3270 Screen mapping to support 4k message sizes. I Participated in the Y2K project planning on the TPF 4.1 platform. Finally, my last project was the designing and documenting support for Decimal Trading as required by the SEC.
