Hailing from the frigid tundra of Minnesota, Peter J. Farrell has a Bachelor of Music degree from the Peabody Institute at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. While studying music, Peter took his life-long interest with computing to a new level and started learning about web development technologies. He has been working as a software technologist since 2001 and is the lead developer of the Mach-II project.

Mach-II is powerful, Object-Oriented, MVC framework for developing CFML web applications. To some this is buzzword overload so in simpler terms Mach-II is designed to give CFML developers a high-performance, extensible, proven framework they can use build highly flexible, highly maintainable applications. The project is released under the Apache 2.0 license and is used by a variety of organizations from government to small business.

Peter is the Senior Technologist for GreatBizTools, a human resources consulting firm. He and his wife, Allyson, live together in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
