Peter Esbensen Email & Phone Number

I'm a developer with expertise in backend services and systems for efficiency, reliability and high throughput. At Microsoft, I've led an effort to optimize Bing's online experimentation analysis, saving 55% in compute costs (approx $1.7 million per year). At The Hartford, I developed a patent-winning code generation system for financial models and leveraging GPU computing technology for breakthrough business results. I enjoy using python, java and C# and solid object oriented design skills to deliver robust solutions that are easy to maintain and enhance. I have deployed solutions to large scale clusters of windows and linux servers.It is important to me to find the right tool for the job. Languages, platforms and tools that I have leveraged in the past include Python, Java, C#, C/C++, GPU programming with CUDA, SQL databases, cassandra, and git. I have expertise in object oriented design, RESTful services and performance optimization.One of my favorite things about software development is finding ways to continually improve the development process for myself and my team. I enjoy agile development and finding ways to ensure confident software development through automated testing.I am especially proud of my projects where I worked across team boundaries. Examples of this include my work at Microsoft that brought together software engineers from two separate organizations, my software development at The Hartford where I worked directly with actuaries and executives, and my work at Agilent where I was an R&D point-of-contact for support, sales, marketing, and customers.

Listed skills include Agile Methodologies, Subversion, Python, Eclipse, and 25 others.
