Top SchoolPeter Hecke is a Senior Content Developer and seasoned software engineer with over 20 years of experience building scientific and enterprise applications, SDKs, and developer documentation for products like Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform.

At Microsoft he authors developer docs and Power Apps samples (including contributions to the high-profile microsoft/PowerApps-Samples repo) while applying cloud and identity technologies such as Azure AD, Service Bus, and OAuth2. Comfortable as a self-starter or a leader on geographically distributed teams, he emphasizes readable, performant code and documentation workflows using GitHub, NuGet, XML, and Markdown. His background spans embedded scientific engineering at Lockheed and SGI to spec-writing at Bluetooth SIG, giving him an uncommon mix of low-level systems intuition and consumer-facing API experience.
