Experience

1. is Manager

   Salmon Terminals

   Jun 2000 — Present

   Grew corporate skills and abilities. IT is now a part-time (less than 4 hours per week) department. Managed conversion, mini-computer to Windows; conversion design, schedule, budget negotiation, software environment selection, vendor selection, systems purchase, network & electrical installation, test verification, and end user training. Effort included a complete rebuild of the computer facility. Delivered success on-time and slightly under the $260K budget.(Salmon Terminals had attempted this conversion 3 times prior to & spent over $3 million on 3 failures.)Relocated IT in 2006 company move. Created new computer & phone facility, upgraded server, created new network and upgraded software to allow uninterrupted manufacturing, shipping & receiving. Reduced my full time IT position to less than 4 hours per week while reducing the office staff effort 17% by- Simplifying processes on the \"edge\" of IT and better training end users. Especially made common error conditions easier to understand and correct- Observing processes based on now obsolete technical or business rules and updating them. Abandoned much \"that\'s the way we have always done it\", with few tears shed- Refactoring code to eliminate technical reasons for incomplete adoption of new requirements. Reduced time needed to fix defects- Eliminating all software defects which had, in the past, required frequent IT intervention- Enabling transfer of data to and from customers with effective security. Upgraded the \"edges\" of our applications to Windows.(The core of our software is still COBOL, now a COBOL object oriented dialect.)These roles are my responsibility- Manager: hardware, software, network, consultants- Project Manager (cross functional teams, including customers and vendors)- Systems Analyst- Business Analyst- DeveloperSought by Salmon Terminals due to past experiences including training in \'84 and customer support in \'87-\'88.
