Peter Lord

I'm a typing enthusiast and self-taught technologist with a non-traditional journey. Starting in sales and marketing, my curiosity and drive led me through QA and communications before finding my calling in software engineering. When I'm not tinkering with technology, you'll find me building mechanical keyboards, cooking up something interesting,

Currently, I'm a Platform Engineer at Industrial Light & Magic, where I support VFX artists and their immersive division with cloud infrastructure and tooling. Previously worked at Cruise, Verizon, Elotalk and more.

I'm passionate about building tools and fostering tech communities. I run a discord called Devops, Programming, and Coding (DPC) — a thriving Discord community of 7,500+ technologists sharing knowledge. I maintain two active Discord bots (Kernel and Ozma), and run a comprehensive homelab where I experiment with infrastructure automation and self-hosted services.
