EXPERIENCE
October 1992 to December 2002 - Capacity Planner,
Performance and Tuning Systems Programmer, Statistical Reporting -
Fidelity Investments, Irving, Texas
Responsible for analyzing the capacity of
various systems and
subsystems including remote copy for Disaster
Recovery, monitoring
and analysis of silo image patterns and silo
dataset candidate selection.
Responsible for analyzing the capacity for
CA/Sterling VTAPE including
dataset selection, cache sizing, resource
requirements and backstore drive
requirements. Size bandwidth for remote
copy using CNT DS3 lines.
Compiled data to prepare graphs, charts and
reports that were used in presentations
to all levels of management. Initially used
SAS/GRAPH but later used EXCEL,
PowerPoint, SAS, MXG as well as developed custom
programs that processed
raw SMF/RMF and data from other sources.
Sized workloads for internal and outside customers
that were to be
incorporated into the Data Center. Processed
SMF data for Disaster Recovery
capacity requirements. Performed the responsibilities
of a MICS administrator.
September 1988 to July 1992 - MICS Administrator,
Performance and Tuning Systems Programmer,
Resource Management Accounting Utilization and Chargeback -
Perot Systems/NCNB/FirstRepublic Bank, Dallas Texas
Responsible for MICS administration, capacity planning,
CPU and DASD performance, tuning and resource management,
Data Center chargeback and client billing systems, workload analysis
and workload distribution across multiple operating system images.
Responsible for defining and adjusting performance control values
in SYS1.PARMLIB IPS, ICS and OPT members, MDF LPAR configurations,
performance and capacity reports and graphs, SMF data capture processes
and hardware upgrades.
Installed software products including MICS base,
MICS VCC/VCA DASD component, MICS IMS/LDE and
OMEGAMON/Epilog and used these to measure the
performance and tune the system. Installed the
SAS programming language and wrote statistical reports.
Designed, coded and implemented a billing system that
calculated charges, billed clients for processor,
DASD and tape cartridge usage and generated management reports.
Utilized software tools to monitor CPU, shared DASD
and client application system performance. Made improvements
to tune the environment, eliminate contention and bottlenecks.
Performed workload analysis and distributed workloads for processor upgrades.
Developed a system that input prospective outsource clients raw SMF/RMF
data and produced resource utilization reports to plan capacity requirements
when merging outsource client workloads into Data Centers facilities.
Produced reports that were used as the basis for negotiating client service
level agreements. Monitored availability, the quality of data center operations
and, measured conformance to client service level agreements.
Designed and supported the SMF/RMF data collection process for
multiple data centers all of which executed multiple system images.
November 1985 to September 1988 - MICS Administrator,
Performance and
Tuning Systems Programmer, Capacity Planner
- Dresser Industries (Haliburton), Dallas,
Texas
Benchmarked processor upgrades. Analyzed processing requirements in conjunction
with converting from MVS/SP to MVS/XA. Analyzed the feasibility of
converting a user-written billing system to MICS Accounting system software.
Designed, maintained and produced daily, monthly and quarterly capacity and
performance reports. Supported MICS and MICS/TSOMON component.
Installed and maintained new SAS releases.
September 1984 to November 1985 - Capacity
Planning,
Performance and Tuning Systems Programmer,
MICS Administrator - Parkland Hospital, Dallas,
Texas
Initial person assigned to the role of Capacity Planner,
Performance and Tuning System Programmer and MICS Administrator
at the installation. Planned, organized, actuated and controlled
these functions for the Data Center. Installed the
installation’s first MICS release, defined the parameters and the data capture processes.
Installed the initial SAS release for the installation.
Developed models and trend projections of future workload
impacts on operating system and online system performance.
Developed capacity plans, monitored the performance and tuned
the operating system environments when migrating from MVS/SP to MVS/XA.
Conducted presentations for all management levels.
Selected topics, gathered supporting data and statistics
and used SAS/GRAPH to produce statistical visual aids
for use in these presentations.
April 1981 to September 1984 - Systems Engineer - EDS, Dallas, Texas
Maintained the performance of databases. Developed an online Operations Accounting
Report System (OARS). Modified user-written SMF/RMF programs that extract
data to support the migration from MVS/SP to MVS/XA.
