Pete's Personal Homepage

I am currently working for Techno Sci. on their Trident Maratime Awareness Center project. I am interested in working on a wide variety of software development. I have experience in application and systems development, machine level programming, distributed system, databases, networks, security related topics, compilers, agents, and pattern recognition systems. I have worked on contract for Siemens writing distributed/redundant applications in their SCADA group and for Osoft writing parsers and XML transforms. I also have worked with Architecture Technology Corp. writing AI agents to drive simple robotic cars. I completed my BS at the University of Minnesota Duluth. During school and summers, I have worked in a secure environment for Sandia National Laboratories for two plus years in an internship program where I had the opportunity to take a prototype level program to product level tool with a completely reworked interface.

I have worked on a variety of Internet and hardware topics while developing product level tools in a team-orientated environment. During past employment and while attending class at the U of M, I expanded my experience in C, C++, Java, Pascal, and Perl programming. One accomplishment I'm particularly proud of includes writing my own compiler/interpreter and database server in C++. During the time I worked with the Magnet Group, lead by Drs. Maria Gini and John Collins, I helped to write an AI agent using Java. The agent was entered in the 2005 TAC-SCM international competition and our team placed 5th. Through my own desire for knowledge, I learned Perl, Objective-C (including Cocoa Interfaces), and other languages such as Python that have proved useful both professionally and personally.

Peter Cooner
