Twenty years of experience working with end users and technical MIS staff in the successful development and implementations of systems for Mortgage, Lending, Accounting, Point of Sale, Inventory Management, and System Integration. My primary points of expertise have been addressing database concerns and situations. Particularly, database redesign, data migration, database replication, and database optimization. Additionally, I have enjoyed many years as a world lecturer and trainer for Client/Server and n-tiered architecture design and solution development and deployment.

Fidelity Information
Services
My missions for Fidelity Information Services have
deeply involved me with reacting to emergency situations at various client
sites related to banking and mortgage products that Fidelity supports. Some of my notable clients have been Toyota,
Harris Bank, Sun Trust, Washington Mutual, and TDBankNorth. Projects have included database migrations
resulting from bank mergers and acquisitions, resolving system slowdowns
related to database deadlocks, obsolete indexes, rewrites of stored procedures,
restructuring of tables and views, in depth analysis to match extreme volumes
to response times, and data platform migration from non-similar data structures
to support corporate changes in systems and products in production and slated
for use in production. I am very
successful through the use of PERL as a “tool language” to facilitate
situations that involve cross platform operating systems. On many occasions though, my solutions have
included combinations of product proprietary languages, SQL ( generic and
specific to the database system ), and PERL.
