Résumé

Hi, I’m Pete. I’m a product designer and developer with 16 years of experience across desktop, mobile, and the web, specializing in Apple platforms. I build what I design, with coding agents central to how I explore ideas, prototype interactions, and ship software. I give a damn.

Feel free to look through some of my work and shoot me an email if you’d like to know more. You can also download my résumé (PDF).

Independent work & contributions

Hold a key, speak, and your words land wherever you’re typing. Uses Apple’s on-device speech model by default, with optional OpenAI transcription.

Pick a color anywhere on screen, fine-tune it, and copy it as Hex, RGB, HSL, or code for SwiftUI, AppKit, and UIKit. It works in sRGB, Display P3, and Adobe RGB, and checks WCAG contrast as you edit.

Designed and implemented macOS interface refinements, including theme-aware title bars and tabs, split dividers, and controls for restoring zoomed terminal splits.
