Mr. Walker has over 25
years of computer systems development and integration experience. He has worked in all areas of software
development and LAN implementation. Including all aspects of the system
development life cycle. As an Information
Systems Architect, Mr. Walker is instrumental in the deployment and
day-to-day operations of the LEADER Project Management Office LAN. Mr. Walker developed and implemented the
local Hardware and Software configuration office to implement the LEADER
project’s 150 servers, 11,140 workstations, 2,000 printers, and 250 Laptop
computers. Mr. Walker designed and
developed the installation procedures for the Servers, printers,
workstations, and laptop computers at the LEADER local office sites. Mr. Walker manages the
LEADER LAN Support Group responsible for all Server, Desktop and Laptop
support for the LEADER Project Management Office. This team is also responsible for remote support of all 100
LEADER Site LANs and Servers. When
necessary the LAN Support Group will perform direct site support by going to
the remote sites. Mr. Walker has lead many project teams for various
projects during his career. The
largest project Mr. Walker led was the implementation of the Wherehouse
Entertainment, Inc. WAN upgrade. This
upgrade encompassed the replacement of 350 PERTEC computers with HP E-class
UNIX servers. Over 4,000 terminals
were attached to these servers. Mr.
Walker led the Project as a Project Engineer and on-site project
manager. He was responsible for
leading the software development team, the configuration team, and the
implementation team. This project was
delivered on time and under budget. As a Systems Testing and Quality Assurance Manager, Mr.
Walker developed test scenarios that fully tested all application software
from a “white box” point of view. Mr.
Walker’s technical experience as a programmer gained him acceptance with the
software teams. This experience also
benefited Mr. Walker’s test team in allowing them to check for common
programming errors. Trouble reports
were detailed and reproducible resulting in faster, more accurate corrections
to software bugs. The NYC583 release
for Citicorp was given recognition as the release with the fewest reported
bugs. Mr. Walker was the project
leader for the NYC583 release and worked closely with both the software
development and quality assurance teams.
This NYC583 release was also delivered to the field in 12 months
rather than the typical 18 months for a major release. This required Mr. Walker to work with the
development and testing teams to implement “shortcuts” to the development
process that resulted in higher quality in spite of the shortened release
cycle. As a systems analyst, Mr. Walker does thorough
research. A typical example is the
Credit Bureau project with Avco Financial Services. Mr. Walker interviewed end users, Credit Bureau employees, Avco
Financial Services Branch Managers, Auditors, and Corporate management for
their requirements. He translated
these requirements into a systems design that included financial
analysis. The identified cost savings
of $200,000 annually, and the time savings of 20 minutes of manual processing
for each of the 25,000 credit applications processed by Avco each year, made
this a high priority project. The
cost of the project was $100,000 giving a 6-month payback period. Due to the high priority assigned to the
project, Mr. Walker not only worked very closely with the programmers, but
also led the System Testing team in the final quality assurance testing of
the product. The implementation of
this Credit Bureau Reporting subsystem resulted in only one service request
being generated by the field. This
release had the fewest reported errors for any release the International
Field Systems Department of Avco Financial Services had implemented up to
that time. |
