An introduction to code
Small programs on a graphing calculator, written in TI-BASIC.
About Peter Steele
A developer’s mindset.
A maker’s curiosity.
I like understanding how things work.
Even more, I like making them work.
A bit of background
It started with
a calculator.
I’m Peter Steele, a full-stack software engineer based in Kincheloe, Michigan. I started programming with TI-BASIC on graphing calculators in 2004 and found my way into web development in 2006.
Since then, my work has included websites, internal tools, and software built around geographic information. I work remotely on GIS, IoT, and asset management software for a company based in Gaylord, Michigan. The projects here are my own independent work.
This is a place to follow that curiosity: useful software, ideas for the local community, and experiments that connect digital design with the physical world. I’ll share the work as it takes shape, with a clear distinction between an idea in progress and something ready to use.
