Hi, I'm Peter!
I work mostly as a data engineer, though I often
find myself poking around in AI or backend projects
when the impact feels right, or simply to scratch
the curiosity itch. I enjoy building tools and
systems that make research, analysis, and product
work smoother, and have spent much of my career in
small, interdisciplinary teams. I'm equally
passionate about mentoring, collaboration, and
keeping a healthy, positive team vibe wherever I
work.
My semi-professional endeavours include keeping up
with the latest neuroscience and sports science
topics, consulting on gaming research, and coaching
strength & conditioning at my local barbell club.
In my recreational time, I usually work on one of my
dozen creative projects, play sports or board-games
with friends, perfect my granola recipe, or simply
take my 35mm point & shoot camera around the world.
