Experience
2000-Now, LANSA.
I am a Senior Pre Sales Consultant for the North East USA region.
I assist the sales managers to technically present the LANSA
tools, help customers to evaluate and apply the tecnology in
their environment and aim to the best use of the LANSA tools. I
am presenting the LANSA products to customers and prospects, at
conferences and exibitions. LANSA is a Repository based CASE tool
for the IBM AS/400 that enables to create mission critical
applications that can be deployed on a variety of platforms: Host
centered with IBM AS/400 and 5350 IBM terminals, or Client/Server
with servers as IBM AS/400, Windows NT, HP Unix nad clients as
Windows, Web HTML, Java and XML. I work on projects for the Web
and on Visual LANSA to keep up with the applied technology.
This is a role that involves a wide range of technologies focused
on the integration of the LANSA tools with existing systems to
improve the functionalities. New projects are also developed to
address new requiremets of the IT industry like Web enablement
and EDI.
Tools used: LANSA, LANSA for the Web, Visual LANSA,
LANSA Client, which generates RPG for the IBM AS/400, C++ for
Windows NT, HTML, Java, and JavaScript for the Web. Databases IBM
DB2/400, SQL Server, Sybase. Query, Crystal Report, JavaScript.
Component base development pervade the systems generated and
Object Orientation is used in the Visual LANSA part for the
Windows clients. FrontPage, HTML, DHTML, XML, XSL, JavaScript,
Java, ADO, ActiveX objects for web interfaces. FTP, Telnet to
connect and transfer files. NewLook for 5250 terminal emulation.
1998-2000, DP-Solutions.
I was a Senior Consultant, and team leader. I am consulting to a
company (Datanomix) who builds with Obsydian COOL:Plex an
electronic tax payment system for the IRS (USA Tax collecting
service) that is going to be live in January 1999. The system is
composed of several parts and I am in charge of a few subsystems
like: Creation of abstract reusable objects to be inherited,
Business Calendar, Scheduling, Data Transfer via FTP and MailBox
or asynchronous communication to several services (Bacnk Of
America, IRS, Bank 1, ...), and help working on others My
activities involve designing the database structure for my
subsystems and define the implementation programs to achieve the
planned result. The system also has a WEB interface that connects
with the system to allow transactions (tax payments or refunds)
to be processed on line. Part of the application need to be
enhanced and written in C++ and RPG or CL that I used for part of
the development and to integrate with 3rd party applications.
A the Sterling World Wide user conference 1999 in Dallas I
gave a speech about Project Management with COOL:Plex
Tools used: COOL:Plex which generates C++ for
Windows (NT or 98) and RPG for the IBM AS/400 (OS/400 operating
system). CL/400, WinC++, RPG, the database is the IBM DB2/400
SQL, Query. The system have been built using Object Oriented
analysis and design.
1997-1998 Axis
Consulting International Inc.,
My activity involved the development and coordination of
projects using CASE tools in the Midrange division. Here I drove
projects for clients, organize the development activities, I also
taught Obsydian to the clients sites and to Axis midrange
employees that will work on Obsydian projects. I did also create
a fast approach class to Obsydian for users that already have
knowledge of Model Based development tools such as Synon/2E. The
people involved in projects were in groups varying from 3 to 10
and when we drive the project where I can leade the team the
group consists normally of 2 or 3 people.
Tools used: COOL:Plex which generates C++ for
Windows (NT or 98) and RPG for the IBM AS/400 (OS/400 operating
system). CL/400, WinC++, RPG, the database is the IBM DB2/400
SQL, Query. Also using SyBase database to run the database on PC
running Windows NT, HTML, FrontPage, JavaScript. All the systems
were designed using Object Oriented analysis and design
methodology.
I did work in several projects all involving the same platform.
Wine production systems: Extending the features of an existing
system for production planning. Car import export: Working as a
consultant on managing dealer orders to match shipments and
eventually reroute shipped cars to other locations. Health
insurance: Working as a consultant to manage health plans with
calls and services provided. I created a web site for Obsydian
users on which I use HTM and Databases to enhance the data on the
site and use Java and JavaScript for the logic on the site. The
site is http://ObsydiaNik.Zordan.net
1995-1997 SYNON
Italy: Teacher, Project leader, Speaker.
I was driving projects to be done with the company
produced tool Obsydian or COOL:Plex. It is an OO and
multiplatform Client/Server code generator from a single design
model. I was managing the Obsydian projects, I was driving the
client projects advising the clients on the best way to use the
tool. I started tens of projects and was working continuously on
4 of them. I trained the clients at their location or at in house
scheduled classes, I also did train on the job when the client
requested a fast strat on the product . I did teach all the
levels and classes from base to advanced and class development. I
did also several pre-sales activity demonstrating the tool to
prospects, and speaking at presentations and computer-exibitions.
The team of people I was driving in projects varied from 3 to 15.
Tools used: COOL:Plex which generates C++ for
Windows (NT or 98) and RPG for the IBM AS/400 (OS/400 operating
system), or C++ for the Windows NT Server and SQL Servers like
Microsoft SQL Server or SyBase. CL/400, WinC++, RPG, the database
is the IBM DB2/400 SQL, Query.
The core of the tool is model based Object Oriented so every
system has been defined applying Object Oriented analysis and
design techniques. The projects I followed were several from
Accounting to Clothing production and distribution to Travel
agencies managements, ect.
1993-1995 AMER
At Amer I was EDP Manager. This was day to day a
management ad organization job for the whole EDP in the company,
from the main information system to the PC and their productivity
tools. I had to reengineer, enhance and fix most of the software
and use external resources for development. Hardware upgrades and
new business rules to be inserted in the application. There were
only 2 people in the EDP internally and an external power up to 3
developers.
Tools used: SUN OS Unix, C, Scripts, ACCEL Database
and Development language, it is an event driven language on a
relational database. Enhancements have been made with Smalltalk

Mainframe to a network of IBM AS/400 midrange computers. The
system has been developed with IBM AS/400 and distributed in a
geographical network from north to the center of Italy. It was a
joint project with IBM. At Marzotto we used a high level analysis
system on PC named Excelerator and a program generator on
relational database that was Synon/2. The developer team was
quite big, organnized in Project and team manager, 8 Analysts, 2
System manager, 1 Databse administrator, 15-25 Synon/2E
