About Pete Hanson

Learning since 1979 | Programming since 1994 | Helping others with technology since 1995 ** I started my business in 1995, and, in that time, I've helped over 500 customers at my last count to achieve their business goals using technology. Up and Running Software now has about 80 team members who serve about 125 customers per year with their custom software development needs (the engines of websites, mostly). We serve predominantly repeat customers. I know tech and business, and I enjoy talking about both in an approachable, open, and solution-oriented manner.(Informally, I've earned the moniker "Smiling Pete.”) Some recent highlights are that we helped: a Fortune 10 company manage nuclear inventory and procurement processes; a company help states of our nation help individuals earn their GEDs; an entrepreneur quit his day job; an established logistics SaaS B2B company reorganize its architecture, and approach programming in a more cost-effective manner; a railroad reduce its costs while increasing its compliancy score; and a client create a system to manage schedule II medications, approved by both the DEA and FDA for use. As you can see, I like helping many companies and people, and the skills—which I have learned largely thanks to the great customers who've taught me what I know over the years—transfer across industries and contexts. There should never be a dull moment for those of us who program until the AI takes over.If you want to talk tech, whether it's for fun or business, I hope to hear from you.* Email: pete@uarss.com* GitHub: https://github.com/petehanson
