Summary
Peter Brune is a Senior Software Engineer with 19 years of experience blending applied mathematics, high-performance computing, and production-scale software engineering to solve science and industry problems. He has driven feature-rich advertising systems and statistical auction models at Google, built ML forecasting and automated campaign-planning at Best Buy, and contributed core numerical solvers and parallel algorithms to PETSc during a research-focused career at Argonne and the University of Chicago. Comfortable in C++, Python, R, and SQL, he bridges deep theory (PDEs, multigrid, numerical methods) with pragmatic engineering of large-scale analysis and serving infrastructure. Based in Minneapolis, he’s known for being the long-term debugging and sales-support touchpoint on complex, messy datasets—a sign of both technical depth and customer-facing reliability.
