Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPeter Richards is a Principal Architect with nine years in senior roles at Microsoft and a 20+ year software career rooted in systems, tooling and enterprise services. He specializes in API design, large-scale SaaS architecture, and Microsoft .NET ecosystems, having led Intune’s API strategy and helped onboard OData v4 into Microsoft Graph. Peter pairs hands-on implementation with governance work—driving GDPR, ISO, SOC and FedRAMP compliance—and has built tooling to automate API documentation and developer workflows. He has a track record of running on-call incident responses, mentoring teams, and managing cross-functional delivery of web portals, UWP apps and backend services. Based in Snoqualmie, WA, he combines deep technical craftsmanship (from C/C# test automation to Java/Spring prototypes) with pragmatic operational leadership. A subtle strength is his repeated role as the bridge between product, compliance and platform teams, turning regulatory requirements into usable APIs and services.
