Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPete Howard is a creator and hands-on software engineer with 11 years of recent experience and a multi-decade background building technically demanding systems across aerospace, semiconductors, scientific research, and regulated finance. He specialises in finding the small set of structural choices that determine a project's success, then validating them by building deterministic, testable software artifacts—most recently embodied in DrawExact, a Go + WebAssembly geometry-first system that rethinks diagramming from first principles. As a founding engineer at Keel he helped prove a radical declarative cloud-backend approach by rapid experimentation; at HSBC he designed a DSL and resilient execution engine to make scarce storage expertise programmable and auditable. Comfortable without formal authority, he wins trust through deep domain learning, close collaboration with SMEs, and disciplined engineering rather than process dogma. Pete’s work habitually inverts conventional architectures to move decisive logic into testable cores, a pattern that surfaces hidden leverage and reduces luck in complex projects.
