Summary
Peter Donato is a systems engineer with 17 years of software engineering experience applying Java and SOA architectures to commercial, financial, and aerospace systems. Currently a contractor for the FAA at BCI, he prototypes NextGen air traffic control capabilities—wrapping legacy weather instruments into modern services and building conversion pipelines between WXXM, TAC, GRIB and NetCDF formats. Formally trained in physics (BS, MS), he combines scientific rigor with practical engineering, having built visualization tools using Cesium and complex data adapters for real-time and archived meteorological data. His background spans high-assurance government work, biometric integrations, and high-frequency market data systems, evidencing a consistent focus on robust, interoperable integrations. Detail-oriented and self-directed, he’s known for translating legacy data models into configurable JSON-driven converters and for re-clocking archived datasets into live NOAA feeds.
