Software engineer modernizing legacy FoxPro systems and building reliable back-end web services.
PhilippinesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a software engineer focused on enhancing and updating legacy applications, especially FoxPro. I fix bugs and errors in existing systems and also support backend development for web applications, bringing a detail-driven approach to stability and correctness.
Previously, I worked as a FoxPro / Cobol Mainframe Programmer on the update and migration of FORS, where I debugged, tested, and verified code execution. I compared original backend (ACF2) requests/responses with the new backend (RACF) values and documented system changes for traceable, user-ready outcomes.
I also serve as a data and migration specialist—analyzing legacy data tables and relationships, creating PRGs/SQL scripts to migrate, transform, and load into SQL tables, and building tools to compare legacy vs. integrated data. Across roles—from loan system development to mainframe work and technical support—I prioritize careful debugging, migration accuracy, and practical solutions that help users get results.
