new program products and upgraded/fixed existing products under VM, VSE, DEC/RSTS; e.g., Sterling
Software and Goal Systems product suites. Managed a small group of System Programmers.

   Introduced new features and maintained support by orchestrating several significant software upgrades:
    VM/HPO to VM/ESA; VM/PROFS to OFFICE VISION/VM; DOS/VSE TO VSE/SP 2.1.
   Increased throughput and maintained support by assisting in the following hardware and communication
    upgrades: DEC PDP 11/70 to IBM 4331; IBM 4331 to 4341; IBM 4341 to 4381; IBM 4381 to 3083 and
    3081; IBM 4381 to 9221; IBM 3370 to 3380 DASD; IBM 3420 to 3480 tape drives, IBM 3380 single
    density DASD to triple density; BTAM to VTAM; 3174 coax-attached terminals to token-ring attached
    PCs.
   Reduced licensing costs and manpower by merging two data centers - one involving a 3081 running
    VSE/SP in Rye Brook to a 3090 running MVS in Richmond (received President’s Award) and another
    involving a 9221 running VM in Rye Brook to one running VM in Richmond.
