Leader · Developer · Educator Open to work

I lead, I build, and I can learn anything.

Hi, I'm Pete. I've coached teams, taught classrooms, run large programs, and now I build and ship software. Titles change; the work ethic doesn't. As AI reshapes the field, bet on the person who adapts — and delivers.

Where I'm from

You earn it. Nobody hands it to you.

I was born and raised in Buffalo — a blue-collar town on the banks of Lake Erie that's often a national punchline. What outsiders miss is the resilience it builds into its people.

Values there aren't given; they're earned through vision, hard work, and determination. I carry that into every room I walk into and every line of code I write.

Proof of range

One thread runs through it all: people.

Developer Where I am now

Taught myself to build the tools I always wished existed. Same instinct as every job before it: make people's lives and work easier.

Manager Concurrent enrollment · district wide

Managed concurrent-enrollment programs and district wide initiatives built straight from state legislation. Big scope, real stakes.

Administrator School district

Leading people and systems at the district level — accountability, decision making, and doing right by the people who depend on you.

Educator Middle & high school English

Taught kids to read closely, write clearly, and critically think for themselves. Relationships, high expectations, and communication were the job.

Coach HS basketball → 5-yr flag football

From high-level NYC high school basketball to five-year-old flag football. Reading people, creating great situations for them to thrive, and getting the best out of a team.

PJT Development

Custom software, built and shipped by one developer who explains every step in plain English. No agency overhead. No handoffs. No jargon.

Off the keyboard

The reason for all of it.

I'm proudest of being a husband and a father. My family is why I work the way I do — and the honest test of whether the things I build are worth building.

I keep their details off the internet, but they're behind every decision here. Diligence, collaboration, and delivering above expectations aren't just work habits — they're how I show up at home, too.

"I believe I can learn and build anything."
— the one belief behind every chapter
