Peter Somerville
Bio
Peter Somerville is the Co-founder of Caparra, a Minneapolis-based startup building AI-powered tools that help software engineering teams work better together.
Peter met his Caparra co-founder Chad Rhyner 8 years ago at a fin-tech startup, and was quickly impressed with Chad's DevOps expertise. With their shared background as Midwestern natives and U.S. Marine Corps veterans, the two have stayed in touch discussing innovation in software engineering.
Peter is the "much less technical co-founder," but has surprised himself (and sometimes even impressed Chad) with his AI-assisted contributions to the Caparra codebase. When not attempting to code, Peter enjoys "Type 2 fun" such as trail marathons, training at a Muay Thai camp in Thailand, and hiking 2,500 miles in Spain, Portugal, and France.
