Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Hechler is a freelance software engineer in NYC with 10 years of experience building front-end systems and, more recently, real-time games using Unity/C# and Unreal Engine 5/C++. He spent much of his career crafting production React/TypeScript interfaces—creating component scaffolding, Storybook-driven workflows, and analytics dashboards—at startups scaling product teams. Peter pairs pragmatic engineering with a designer’s eye for iteration, having reduced client onboarding tasks from days to minutes through well-crafted data migration and UI work. A lifelong learner fluent in languages beyond code, he brings teaching experience from App Academy and the Fulbright program to collaborative roles and community projects. Comfortable moving between web and game stacks, he enjoys projects that let him see creations come to life from prototype to polish.
