After a Ph.D from Imperial College, London University in simulation models of insect populations and a post-doctoral fellowship at University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, he began his 20-year long career in professional computing. For ten years he was a staff member of the University of London Computer Centre, involved in and later leading the implementation of some of the "Coloured Book" open networking standards. From then and continuing as an independent consultant from 1992, Peter played a major role in the specification of the OSI standards, editing several, including the final edition of OSI Transaction Processing (ISO/IEC 10026).

He joined Arjuna Solutions (later Bluestone Arjuna) in 2000, where he worked as a Product Architect on the failure recovery aspects of their Java transaction service before co-founding Choreology. Throughout his career, Peter has maintained a balance between standards development and practical implementation, despite having been involved at some time with a large number of standards bodies.
