Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Evans is a hands-on Staff Engineer and seasoned technology leader with 11+ years of experience building scalable products and engineering teams across MarTech, FinTech, and healthcare privacy. He has repeatedly combined individual contributor coding with senior leadership—scaling companies from early revenue stages to multi-million ARR and standing up infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and platform teams that support hundreds of engineers. Peter’s background spans founding-era technical work through CTO and Head of Engineering roles where he designed core data schemas, tracking systems, and automated decisioning pipelines. Based in Chicago, he’s comfortable in both product-facing and deeply technical roles, mentoring engineers while still shipping critical code. He also brings a long view: decades of systems work dating back to custom database modernization, and a contrarian creative streak hinted at by his GitHub motto, “All watched over by machines of loving grace.”
