Experienced Symitar PowerOn developer and analyst specializing in credit unions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced analyst and software developer specializing in Jack Henry/Symitar PowerOn development with over a decade of hands-on experience automating credit union processes and improving operational reporting.
I design, implement, and maintain PowerOn programs (batch and online), jobfiles, and interfacing solutions that streamline workflows for lending, accounting, and operations. I also work with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Excel, and common office tools to deliver practical solutions.
My accomplishments include creating automated reporting for regulatory and operational needs, developing member-facing and back-office processes (fee refunds, loan tracking, foreclosure letters, address-change auditing), and leading transitions and integrations during mergers and platform changes.
I collaborate across departments and with external partners to ensure accurate data, efficient batch processing, and reliable end-of-day operations while mentoring peers and supporting branches and support services.
