AgFirst (contract through DP Professionals), June 2000 - Nov. 2000. Worked on converting existing personnel systems to Lawson software. Worked with Access and the Lawson product line on the PC side, and some mainframe Cobol programming.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of S.C., 1997-1999. I worked as a contract programmer here (contracting company is CEP), doing mostly maintenance work on the existing insurance software systems. BCBS uses IBM mainframes, CICS, IMS, DB2, VSAM, and ISPF.

Systems and Computer Technology, 1992-1997. Worked heavily with the Oracle database system in both standalone and client-server mode. Utilized SQL and Oracle Forms.

I was responsible for products such as ISPF, TSO/E and PL/I. This was a small shop, and I also dabbled in other mainframe areas as well. In addition, I was involved in a large applications project that used the Oracle database system (primarily the SQL component), and, since it ran under UNIX, many UNIX tools, such as awk, sed, vi, and the shell programming language.
