Skills

I am a decent mainframe developer, a good Legacy Modernization Architect, and excellently all-rounded software professional, who specializes in Backend. My excellent sense of logic and allround abilities make me a great fit for jobs that require gathering or/and understanding of requirements and converting them to workable design / work specifications.

I have worked in MVS-ESA mainframes for 10 years, 7 of them in US. My best skill is DB2, with CICS COBOl JCL proficiency as well. My biggestt mainframe technical achievements:
1) Being a critical part of the largest mainframe development of its time that had 1,000 DB2 tables, which was responsible for billions of dollars in annual billing 
2) Ushering in CICS TS technology for a large US utilities firm
3) Getting awarded as 'Top 1% of developers' award in Phoenix, AZ at 6 years of experience, when the average experience level in developers in a team of 1,000+ mainframe developers was 12 years

I have also worked in Germany for a product company (bought in 2006 by Software AG) back in 2001 or 2002 on deputation for my Indian organization, but this was in Java J2EE (now JEE) ecosystem. I have worked in UK & Aus also for about a year in total.

I have rescued quite a few projects from red - so if you have a fire to contain - I can handle it - but give me enough authority to take charge. I absolutely love challenges.
