Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Simpson is a senior software engineer and startup-focused builder with 11 years of experience based in Seattle, currently engineering at Amira Learning while also leading engineering efforts at on-demand grooming startup Shortcut. He blends mobile-first craftsmanship—years of iOS app development in Objective-C and Swift and multiple App Store releases—with hands-on leadership from founding Ventfull to serving as Head of Engineering. His background pairs a ScB in Chemistry from Brown (3.87 GPA) and early lab research on antibacterial compounds with a practical track record of shipping consumer and education products that bridge hardware, mobile, and web. Comfortable scaling teams and codebases alike, he brings entrepreneurial instincts to product decisions and a pattern of turning prototypes into revenue-generating services. Notable for moving between founder-mode builds and senior engineering roles, he’s equally at home designing APIs, shipping UX-driven mobile experiences, and connecting hardware via Bluetooth.
