Peter Lyle studied his Bachelor degree in Computing (BComp) at the University of Tasmania, completing in 2007.  Over the following two years he completed his Honours, investigating considerations in the interaction between mobile devices and shared displays.  His research interests, thanks to some sociology electives at undergraduate level, are in the facets of computing where social interaction is involved.

Peter has worked in the Tasmanian IT sector since 2003, ranging from client support roles to software development working on large enterprise projects for public and private enterprise.  His experiences have given him a good understanding of how to deal with clients as people, especially when they struggle to grasp technical processes they are faced with daily.

Peter has been involved in attending a number of Apple University Consortium training sessions focusing on Apple Development technologies including attending the World Wide Developer Conference in 2008, shortly after the public release of the iPhone development SDK.  Since then he has worked on a number of small business oriented applications for a software development firm in Tasmania.
