Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Story is a seasoned software engineer with five decades of hands-on experience across embedded, real-time, and maritime simulation systems, currently focused on C#, C++ and .NET at Kongsberg Maritime. He progressed from co-owning a computer typesetting company to roles as systems architect and director of engineering in the US, then returned to Norway to lead and deliver complex defence and maritime software. Comfortable across assembler, Unix variants, VxWorks and Windows since 1995, he distinguishes software engineering (architecture, reliability and systems thinking) from mere programming. Known for longevity in mission-critical domains, he still codes and prefers technically interesting challenges over job-hopping—only a “phenomenal” offer would lure him away. An uncommon trait: he maintains deep practical knowledge spanning legacy toolchains to modern managed environments, making him a valuable bridge between old and new systems.
