Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter G is a seasoned software engineer, inventor and hands-on tech leader with 14+ years delivering scalable, highly asynchronous and privacy-aware systems across finance, adtech and startups. He co-invented a patent-pending Federated SQL Engine at LiveRamp and has repeatedly shrunk “big data” problems into small, fast solutions—cutting signup latency from minutes to seconds and turning slow regulatory queries into sub-second responses. Equally comfortable as an architect, CTO or individual contributor, he champions clean, maintainable code, TDD and modern functional designs (Scala, Akka, Spark) to drive predictable delivery. A frequent conference speaker, university lecturer and open-source contributor (notably to akka-camel), he blends academic training in distributed systems with pragmatic product-building. Based in London, he has founded two companies and freelanced on performance and cost tuning, combining entrepreneurial instincts with deep systems thinking. An oft-overlooked strength is his ability to translate formal algorithmic and concurrency theory into practical, production-grade optimizations that reduce cost and operational complexity.
