What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role in a dynamic organization that values growth and innovation, where I can leverage my mainframe expertise and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a seasoned Lead Production Support Analyst with over 10 years of experience in the IBM Mainframe platform. My extensive knowledge of the Z/OS MVS environment has allowed me to develop a wide range of skills that consistently meet and exceed expectations. I have received numerous references from management and customers for my commitment to providing continuous and error-free support, particularly in critical enterprise automated batch processing.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex production schedules and provided technical support across various IBM Mainframe regions. My role has involved debugging production issues, supporting client UAT testing, and maintaining the integrity of automated schedules. I thrive in high-pressure environments and am dedicated to delivering exceptional results, as evidenced by my successful handling of holiday processing for both Canadian and US markets.
