I am a seasoned data processing professional with over twenty years experience working with both hardware and software. Among my many duties as an analyst/- programmer and interface specialist, I am responsible for several interfaces. Common Registration is the interface between Signature and a home-brewed patient registration system. Signature (Siemens Medical Systems) is an accounts receivable application and Patient Registration is an ADABASE-Natural home-brewed system. One of my most recent tasks was to convert the Common Registration interface from the Integrator interface engine to Cloverleaf. Both engines are HIE (a.k.a. Healthcare.com and currently Quovadx) products. I am also responsible for the Ingenix to Signature interface. The interface engine for this Claims Manager interface is OPENLink version 22.3. I have also designed, implemented, maintain and am responsible for running several OLIE scripts monthly. These scripts often involve real-time changes to financial data. My problem-solving skills have led to consistent success in meeting hardware, software, telecommunications, client-server and networking goals and objectives. I have been responsible for a number of creative solutions to business problems. My ability to analyze and conceptualize, manage mul- tiple priorities, set goals and meet deadlines has been key to my sucess. My qualifications include extensive technical skills and results orientation as well as being a self-starter and a team player.MS-DOS: Six years Experience as a "power user" (used features such as attrib, xcopy32, defrag, drvspace) Upgraded several PC's DOS and/or Windows versions Return to table Windows 3.xx - '98: Over the course of a year I upgraded many kinds of PCs from Windows 3.x to Windows 95.
