Summary
🤩
RockstarDavid Peterson is a multidisciplinary technologist and storyteller who blends 14+ years of systems architecture and solutions leadership with a creative practice as an oil painter. He has repeatedly launched and scaled regional operations—most notably building Acquia’s APJ presence and helping grow the region to a Top Performing Team—and has architected govCMS, the world’s largest government open-source project, earning a UN speaking slot. Comfortable from hardware to cloud, he designs resilient, internet-scale systems (Kafka/streaming, faceted search, semantic web) while prototyping with IoT, BLE and mixed reality. Equally at home briefing C‑level stakeholders or soldering sensors, he specializes in turning complexity into engaging, actionable narratives and products. Based on a past life as an award‑winning wildlife cinematographer, he brings a rare visual intuition to information architecture and human-centered system design.
