Hi there!! ๐
Iโm Peter โ welcome to my home on the internet, in perpetual refurbishment.
What Iโm working on
- ๐ผ Strategy and Management Consultanting in London, UK. 5+ years of end-to-end experience, from origination to global deployments. First Class in Business Administration with Honours from the University of Bath โ sleepless nights, Dominos pizzas, fun times.
- ๐ฉบ Digital Transformation and complex programme delivery, with total exposure upwards of ยฃ500million in some cases. Successful track record for both Agile and Waterfall engagements โ I always get enthusiastic about technology, change and applied human ingenuity.
- ๐ Solution Designer, from back-end systems to UIs and app journeys. I rely heavily on user-centred design, FORM and Design Thinking โ it gives me immense pleasure to put out there experiences that delight users!!
- โ Cloud Architect, experienced and certified on GCP. Was part of business assessments, pilots, data and application migrations, as well as cloud optimisations.
- ๐ค I study data science and Iโm particularly enamoured with data storytelling.
- ๐ Founded and still run (light-touch) an education charity. We work exclusively through volunteers and donโt rely on financial donations (even our accountant is a volunteer!).
- โ On this website, I write articles about my personal projects, consulting, transformation, productivity, education, learning, entrepreneurship, storytelling and things Iโve found particularly beautiful/ useful over the years. All views are, obviously, my own.
Side projects and interests
- Learnt to code in high-school using C++. I still love the simplicity of it and will sometimes use code (albeit R/ Python nowadays) to rapidly prototype ideas and accelerate my work or for random weekend side projects.
- Studied architecture for a couple of years. That sensitivity towards elegance, harmony and balance in composition translates well into UX design and executive messaging (albeit, PowerPoint feels often like a downgrade from AutoCAD!)
- Studied piano for a couple of years. I enjoy the instrument but Iโm still nowhere close to advanced enough to feel I can share with you my progress โ if you have any top tips or courses to speed up my learning, please do let me know!!
- Passionate about epigenetics and any research in ageing. Avid subscriber to blue zones habits, IF, hot/ cold exposure, as well as pretty much anything that lowers inflammation and impacts the methylation patterns.
- Photography and design enthusiast. Mainly interested in street and ethnographic photography (which is a branch of anthropology that deals with capturing cultures, spaces and rituals).
- Tinkering is in my blood โ I enjoy product design, 3D printing and prototyping, electronics, engineering, woodworking and horology. Thereโs a special feeling in making a physical product that solves a real world problem (even when itโs just for an audience of one!)
- Would love to get more into entrepreneurship and startups โ if youโre working on something interesting, Iโd love to hear about it.
