Peter Hanson is a Senior Program Manager and seasoned technologist with 11+ years of experience orchestrating IT programs for government and Fortune 100 clients, blending hands-on Java/web application expertise with strategic program leadership. He has led cross-functional teams through architecture, cloud migration, and enterprise modernization efforts—particularly in geographic mapping and location-based systems—while managing contract compliance and staffing for DoD-focused engagements. Equally comfortable in the codebase and the briefing room, he builds technical solutions (Java, Spring, Oracle, SharePoint) and crafts strategic communications, audit sustainment, and knowledge management for senior stakeholders. A former hands-on GIS product lead, he drove military symbology and terrain-analysis features that won multimillion-dollar contracts, an uncommon mix of product vision and deep technical craft. Based in Libertyville, IL, he also runs a technology firm as CTO, combining consulting agility with program-office discipline.
