About Me
Hey I'm Peter, a Software Engineer from Aotearoa New Zealand. I've recently moved to Montréal, Canada 🍁 having spent the past 5 years working for Trade Me in NZ.
I'm passionate, friendly, and excited about building interesting systems that solve important problems. I'm currently learning French and spending a bit more time tinkering in small open source projects.
In my spare time I play guitar and ski. I like podcasts, Studio Ghibli movies and making silly things in code for fun. I've helped make an album, a theatre show, and an album during a theatre show.

Message Map

A tool to explore your Facebook Messenger data. View all your messages in their totality, then zoom all the way in to specific messages. See summaries for, and filter by chat, sender, and a few other criteria. A fork of the original project by a pair of French students. Refactored into Angular, using Material UI component library, NgRx (Redux) for state management, and D3.js for data visualization.
