Peter Glassey is a pragmatic senior software engineer and solutions architect with two decades of commercial experience in Microsoft technologies and a decade of hands-on experience leading modern cloud and dev‑ops transformations. He has repeatedly delivered high-quality, secure systems—from ground-up rewrites for government agencies to event-sourced microservice identity platforms at Xero—while championing automation, continuous delivery, and emergent design. Comfortable both as a technical lead and as a consultant, he has architected CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes deployments, and infrastructure-as-code for banks and large public-sector clients. Peter blends deep C#/.NET and Visual C++ roots with modern tooling (Terraform, Concourse, Docker, AWS) to accelerate teams and reduce defects dramatically. He’s known for pragmatic security-minded engineering—threat-modeling and OWASP-driven design—and for building scaffolding and developer tooling that makes creating new services routine. Based in Wellington, NZ, he also runs a local Deft practice that reflects his interest in mentorship and continuous improvement.
