VAMSI DANDU

Computer Science Senior at the University of South Florida with a strong technical aptitude for Enterprise Integration and Software Modernization. Proven experience in bridging legacy z/OS systems with modern web interfaces and developing automated monitoring solutions using C#/.NET and Python. Skilled in the full SDLC, SQL data analysis, and Agile collaboration.

Enterprise System Integration & Monitoring Suite | Systems Developer

• Legacy-to-Modern Integration: Engineered a hybrid integration solution that bridged legacy IBM z/OS infrastructure with a modern web-based interface (HTML/CSS), enabling real-time visualization of system health.
• Automated Support & Monitoring: Designed the system for proactive operational support by automating the tracking of critical metrics (CPU utilization, DASD storage); implemented configurable alert thresholds that reduced manual monitoring efforts by 100%.
• Modular System Design: Architected a modular backend using REXX components (CPU, Storage, Job Controller) with a configuration-driven design, allowing "hot" updates to system parameters without requiring code recompilation or downtime.

inCollege Networking Application | Agile Team Member

• SDLC & Agile Project Management: Managed the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for a COBOL-based application within a 5-person Agile team. Utilized Jira Epics and Burndown charts to track project plans, monitor velocity, and deliver incremental value, while rotating as Scrum Master to facilitate daily stand-ups and ensure team alignment with project goals.
• Modernization & Containerization: Implemented Docker and VS Code Dev Containers to containerize legacy COBOL code, ensuring cross-platform consistency and simplifying the development environment for the team. This mirrors the "Enterprise Integration" goal of modernizing legacy systems.
• Quality Assurance & Testing: Executed Dynamic Verification and Regression Testing to ensure codebase integrity. Performed impact analysis on new features to update documentation and maintain system stability, directly supporting the "Request and Analysis" phases of the SDLC.
• Collaborative Development: Collaborated on code reviews and sprint retrospectives to drive continuous process improvement, demonstrating the interpersonal and communication skills required for team-based application support.
