Development Team Foundation
Startups often bring me in to lay the foundation for their development teams.

I typically take on a hands-on role early, then transition into an advisor as the internal team grows and takes ownership.

When a client has a great idea but needs help building it, I provide full-cycle support. From discovery and planning to design, development, and deployment, I guide the entire process.

Leadership Background
My early career experiences shaped my leadership style and professional strengths.
Retail Store Management
Early on, I managed multiple retail stores, leading teams of 8-10 employees at each location. This role developed my skills in building strong teams, enhancing customer experiences, and effectively managing staff performance. It also laid the groundwork for my ability to communicate clearly across diverse teams and nurture individual growth.
Assembly Line Operations Management
As a manager at SkyLine, I supervised an assembly-line facility with around 90 employees. I focused on improving efficiency and optimizing production processes. A particularly meaningful aspect was developing programs that supported employees with cognitive and physical disabilities, successfully creating an inclusive and high-performing work environment.
Development Team Leadership
At Answers.com, I launched and managed the company's first mobile development team, leading eight developers. This move positioned the company ahead of competitors by quickly embracing mobile technology and significantly boosting mobile web traffic. Here, I strengthened my skills in innovation, building user-friendly tech solutions, and collaborating across departments to ensure technology supported overall business goals.
Chief Technology Officer
As CTO at Enroll123, a health insurance technology startup, I managed all technology operations, ensured compliance with key regulations (including HIPAA and HiTECH), and developed strategies to deliver solutions aligned with the Affordable Care Act. This leadership role required strategic planning, meticulous coordination, and decisive action within a complex regulatory environment, further solidifying my ability to lead critical technology initiatives in challenging industries.

Experience in Action
I’ve led technical projects for global brands, civic causes, and environmental movements, often in emerging spaces.
Google Jigsaw: User in Residence
I was invited by Google’s Jigsaw team to consult as part of their “User in Residence” program, sharing insights on civic technology, public data accessibility, and responsible platform design. While details remain confidential, the collaboration reflected a strategic advisory role akin to the discovery phase of a Solutions Architect, supporting technology initiatives with global social impact.
Nike Skateboarding & Snowboarding
As the Solution Architect and Full-Stack Developer, I built a custom ecommerce platform for Nike’s action sports brands, years before Shopify or Salesforce Commerce Cloud came to market. I designed everything from the database schema and CMS to global content management and caching systems, helping Nike scale a digital experience that reflected its global brand.
Civil Services: Open Data for Activism
I founded Civil Services to make elected official data accessible, accurate, and API-ready for civic tech initiatives. With 400+ volunteers, we built a geolocation-based mapping platform used by activists to instantly connect with local, state, and federal representatives. The platform’s reliability and civic impact led to recognition by Google and widespread adoption during a pivotal time for civic engagement.
Gigoit.org: Giving Tech a Purpose
Long before sustainability was trending, I co-founded Gigoit.org, a nonprofit platform that helped over half a million people give away unwanted items instead of sending them to landfills. Recognized by the U.S. EPA and featured in major publications, Gigoit diverted 60,000+ tons of waste per month at its peak. It remains one of the most impactful tech-for-good projects I’ve led.
A few words from the people I’ve worked with.
Peter is the go-to person for anything and everything with productivity and tooling. He thinks outside of the box and looks for new ways to make processes more efficient for developers, businesses, and customers. He is always willing to help and teach others. I'm glad to have the opportunity to meet and work with Peter!
The best way I could describe Peter is to say that he is a swiss-army knife, capable of handling any and every aspect of software development. He is truly a rare breed: talented in design, development, project management, and innovative product development. I highly recommend Peter and his outstanding work.
Peter is one of those rare developers who claims to have a wide range of skills and actually does have a deep level of understanding in each of those areas. He's an asset to any team he's on, and has a relentless work ethic, a passion for quality, and a fun sense of humor (an invaluable trait in long meetings and long days).
I worked with Peter for over a year while he was working for my company in a consulting capacity. I got the general feeling that he truly cared about the people he was working with regardless of who was writing the checks. He was trust worthy and honest with our team always. This is an exceptional trait in the part of the IT world we inhabit.
From his clear and detailed approaches to problem solving down to his handy productivity tools, I was blown away. I felt like I grew as a developer after having worked with him; he set me up with some of the custom tools, and helped give me a great high-level overview to the new things I was working on.
For a little over a year, I had the pleasure of working with Peter. As a developer and team leader, he has all the essential characteristics: responsive, positive, analytical, and inspiring. In addition, Peter's web development skills are second to none. When Peter is asked for help, he guides, coaches, and encourages.
He's as good at front-end as he is at back-end development which is very unique and enormously valuable. He's an entrepreneur and is all about creating exceptional business applications that create real and measurable value. Most importantly, he's an awesome guy to work with.
Peter is ambitions, thorough, and ingenious. He doesn't miss a detail and his ability to scope and execute new projects is unparalleled. When I get the chance to work or consult with Peter, his insights are always welcome. He is true team-player.
Peter is an exceptional developer with a great depth of knowledge. Frontend or backend, he has tackled any problems our team needed to solve. He has particularly impressed me with his enthusiasm for ADA compliant user experiences and the many development tools he has created that make our jobs easier.
Peter is one of the most passionate developers I know. He truly loves his work and it shows in the amount of time, effort and consideration he puts into everything he does. He is not only a highly skilled developer though, he also enjoys teaching others what he knows and showing them how things work.
