Tandem System's Analyst.
In 1986, Universal Reservations Services was the first airline system in the continental United States to use a Tandem Nonstop computer for hosting an airline reservations system. The system was written in Sweden for the Swedish Airline Systems (SAS). It was adapted to United States standards by Bedford Incorporated. In conjunction with a travel agent system (MERS) written by Transaction Software Incorporated (TSI), and with links to Air Inc, the system was a one of a kind for the Tandem. The system hosted the Royal West Airlines, Suncoast Airlines, an American Travelers Incorporated. I was responsible for new development and daily operations.
Caesars Palace-Programmer Analyst.
This is my favorite business card!
Caesars Palace had developed the only Hotel and Casino system in the world hosted by a Tandem system. Its services were employed at the Desert Inn, Caesars Tahoe, and Caesars Atlantic City. "Jim came on board in 1989. His reputation was proceeded by his development skills at Nevada Automated Betting Systems (Nabs). Jim gained responsibilities for new development of both PC and Tandem based system and soon became the point man for all operational problems."
I really enjoyed Caesars Palace. They gave me the freedom to create new programs and objects unseen to the world.
And then there's Valley Bank/BOA where I did the ATM Fee system.
We processed over 300 transactions a minute. I was the point guy on call! 
"Jim was the lead technician responsible for building the INN (In Nevada Network) switch supporting debit cards and credit cards in a shared environment. It was the first of its kind. Jim was responsible for engineering, database management, network engineering and planning data center operations and customer service for the In Nevada Network to primarily support Debit cards in a shared environment. He engineered the pilot system for the an acquirer based ATM fee system in 1987. After Bank of America's take over of Valley Bank, Jim and the team of Valley Bank programmers converted their systems to Base24."
"Those were the days my friend"
And now, I'm a maintenance programmer who's futzing with welfare system that mainly processes food stamps,
not Credit Cards, and not Debit Cards. They are basically government issued gift cards. I wonder if Home Depot's gift card processing consumes millions of lines of code that display "Your monitor is turned off, please press the on button".
