Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Hickman is a pragmatic programmer with 21 years of experience who builds resilient Ruby on Rails systems to consolidate disparate sports data feeds, handling messy name mappings, time zones and real-time scoring. He cut his teeth on COBOL and mainframes in 1984 and has since worked across VAX, CP/M and early PC platforms, bringing an uncommon depth in legacy systems and data modeling to modern web stacks. At Abelson Info he engineers live sports feeds; prior roles include building XML-driven academic publishing platforms and retail EPOS backends. Comfortable in many languages but preferring the clarity of Rails, he combines practical engineering with a historian’s appreciation for how past technologies shape current data problems.
