Eagle-eyed Vision. Extraordinary Clarity.

Hi, I’m Jim Peterson.

When I began teaching myself computer programming back in 2017, I wanted to spend more time around other professionals I could learn from and build alongside. So I started hosting an in-person meetup at Starbucks in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.

Before long, we outgrew the community table. With help from our members, we formed a partnership with MakerspaceCT in Hartford, CT. What started as a gathering became a community where people practiced solving problems, built real projects together, and supported each other’s growth. I began teaching individuals and groups, and dozens of members went on to careers at companies including JPMorgan Chase, Google, Discord, and Lyft. Helping build a community that created opportunities for others remains one of my proudest accomplishments.

I’ve had times when I felt stuck, too. What helped me move forward was taking responsibility for what I could change and working through the problem in front of me. That experience shapes how I approach my work: with curiosity, persistence, and a belief that there is a better way forward.

My background includes seven years in solar sales management and eight years in software engineering and architecture. Today, I bring those experiences together through O(1) Solutions, helping business owners find their biggest constraint, work through it, and tackle the next challenge as their business grows.

I’m also a father of two, and my family means the world to me. Helping my children fulfill their potential is at the heart of why I do what I do. Whether I’m raising my family, bringing people together, or helping a business move forward, helping people grow is what makes the work meaningful to me.
