Summary
Peter Hastie is a software engineering manager with 11 years of experience building and scaling product-focused teams in San Francisco, currently leading engineering at Everlaw. He has a strong track record across media and entertainment tech—Bleacher Report, WarnerMedia, and theScore—delivering high-throughput data pipelines, microservices in Elixir, and user-facing social features. Hands-on early in his career as a frontend and platform engineer, he reduced costs and improved performance through strategic extraction from monoliths, caching optimizations, and Dockerized workflows. He combines people leadership—managing remote, multidisciplinary teams and hiring end-to-end—with technical stewardship of architecture and sprint execution. Notably, he moved from academic research (PhD in Anatomy) into production engineering, bringing scientific rigor and experimentation to product A/B testing and performance tuning. Based in the Bay Area, he excels at translating complex requirements into reliable, measurable systems that improve user engagement.
