About Me
Peter Cardilla
Writer etc.Hi, my name is Peter Cardilla and I write.
I started writing code when I was a child. I started doing it professionally in the late 1990s around the time of the first internet boom. I spent nearly all of the past 30 years developing software and web applications.
As a programmer, my ability to explain complicated ideas in simple terms was often very valuable to my team. This skill—being able to communicate clearly and effectively—has been my key to success, not only professionally, but in every area of my life.
My ability to connect with people is the foundation of all my relationships.
I Have a Thing for Words.
Call it a passion. Words are important. Words bring our thoughts into the real world. They provide our best chance to take an idea from your head and put it in my head. Words are beautiful. Words are powerful.
In a world constantly updating how it communicates, there are many new voices but few new ideas. Much of the messaging we hear is antagonistic or patronizing, neither of which warrants honest consideration. New ideas lift us up and move us forward and new ideas have to be shared.
Let There Be Songs to Fill the Air
My first love as a writer is songwriting. Since 2015, many have known me as Little Petie of the Santa Cruz, California rock & roll band Little Petie & the Mean Old Men.
I’m also a proud supporter of Shriners Children’s Hospitals. Here is a picture of me performing at a Shriners event in 2022.
