David Priddy is a Principal Developer with over 8 years of recent experience and two decades of deep travel-industry expertise, having led Sabre teams through migrations from TPF mainframes to open systems and XML-based APIs. He blends low-level skills (IBM 390 Assembler, TPF) with modern stacks (Java, JavaScript, Linux) and tooling for SOA testing and delivery, making him effective across agile and waterfall environments. As a Solutions Architect and system owner he’s estimated and coordinated complex, enterprise-wide projects while coaching teams in SOA testing practices. Outside enterprise systems, he contributes to open-source game simulation work (Lua back-end scripting for the EmptyEpsilon bridge simulator), showing a practical interest in game mechanics and event-driven design. Based in Hurst, Texas, he’s open to applying his architecture and migration expertise beyond travel to new industries.
