A dynamic project manager and technical resource with more than thirty years of information
technology and management experience in ERP applications encompassing financial services,
health care, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, research institutes, retail, distribution and
government. I have more than fifteen years of PeopleSoft implementations, both domestically
and internationally, including upgrades, development, modification, and production support
experience with the HRMS and Financial applications. Until recently, I was Technical manager
for the PeopleSoft Financials upgrade to 9.1. I have since been supporting investment
applications Eagle, Frontier, Confluence, Heliograph and Swift using Perl and Maestro, while
maintaining PeopleSoft integrations.
I have extensive project leadership, while also executing hands-on the most challenging
technical tasks. My responsibilities have spanned project planning, prototyping, design,
construction, deployment, maintenance and disaster recovery. In Financials, I have
implemented custom electronic payment systems, custom eProcurement implementations, and
front-end multicurrency allocation systems. In HCM, I was responsible for the redesign of a
custom Compensation module for a new Security paradigm, new bonus types and
organizational structures. I also authored and implemented a custom SAML authentication
Single-Sign on to PeopleSoft. I am proficient with all technical aspects of PeopleSoft including
PeopleTools, PeopleCode, Integration Broker/App Messaging, Component Interfaces, XML
Publisher and Business Interlinks (custom java-XML interfaces). I have excellent technical and
analytical skills as well as problem-solving abilities. I am based in Massachusetts.
