Summary
David Morrison is a seasoned Technical Architect with over three decades of experience designing and operating mission-critical Unisys 1100/2200/ClearPath mainframe systems, specializing in batch and online COBOL/DMS applications. He currently leads architecture and production support for New York State’s Client Notices System, coordinating modernization efforts, variable data markup, and integrations with welfare management and hearings systems. David brings deep expertise across legacy and modern stacks—ECL, SOA, Oracle/PLSQL, XML tooling, Akana governance, and prototyping with HP Exstream—bridging mainframe reliability with contemporary service interfaces. His work shows a rare combination of hands-on programming, operational ownership (24/7 on-call), and technical leadership in migrating historical notice archives from DMS to Oracle for online access. Based in Schenectady, he pairs a mathematics degree from Oregon State with a pragmatic engineering approach honed in defense, manufacturing, and state government projects. Notably, he has supervised the creation of web services used by multiple client portals, demonstrating an ability to modernize legacy workflows without disrupting production.
