I build accessible, high-performance interfaces for federal health infrastructure including the CDC and the VA, as well as open-source tools for developers.
Peraton / VA
Architecting a next-gen template for the VA MVP platform incorporating USWDS & the VA Design System.
Kaiva Corp / CDC
Modernizing the OPHDST platform — powering AI-driven disease surveillance and real-time public health intelligence.
Peraton / CDC
Built and scaled the CDC.gov design system, driving accessibility and 508 compliance across federal health infrastructure.
All 37 of Florida's designated scenic byways on a single interactive map. Filter by region, explore points of interest, works offline.
Extract dominant colors from any image and export palettes as CSS custom properties, JSON, or hex codes. Runs entirely in the browser.
Reactive state and declarative DOM binding for jQuery — no build step, no virtual DOM, no component model.
Client-side API key obfuscation for CodePen projects and public demos. Salt-based reversible encoding keeps credentials out of plain-text source views.
Production-ready Vue 3 + Vite + Vercel project scaffolder. One command creates a full-stack app with Tailwind CSS v4, Pinia, Vue Router, and serverless API routes.
Browser-based image processing — resize, crop, compress, convert formats, and apply filters without uploading to a server.
Zero-dependency JS library for dynamically loading scripts, styles, and other resources through a unified Promise-based API.
Wraps localStorage and sessionStorage with TTL expiration, compression, namespacing, batch operations, and cross-tab sync.
Peter is definitely a ‘unicorn’ in the industry. He has the eye for details like a designer as well as the coding skills to make those designs a reality.
Currently
Building md-fun — a browser-based Markdown editor with real-time preview. Type on the left, see formatted output on the right. No account, no server, no install.
Rawlings bought this cracker farm in 1928, won a Pulitzer here, and stayed for twenty years. Driving past one afternoon, I stopped to see what remained.
USWDS is a solid design system. Most federal websites aren't running it. Here is what government digital design looks like in practice, from VA.gov to state systems.
In 1968, a scientist built a mouse paradise and watched it collapse. The study failed to replicate. It may still be telling us something true.
Federal Work
Two in-depth write-ups from federal government work: building a real-time disease surveillance dashboard at CDC and standing up the CDC.gov design system from scratch.
Real-World App
All 37 of Florida's designated scenic byways on a single interactive map. Works offline as a PWA.
Design Tooling
Extract dominant colors from any image and export palettes as CSS custom properties, JSON, or hex. Runs entirely in the browser.
Open Source
Reactive state and declarative DOM binding for jQuery. No build step, no virtual DOM, no component model.
Design Systems
A reference for USWDS, VA Design System, and CMS. How federal agencies standardize accessible, consistent interfaces.
“When Pete worked on my projects, I was always in good hands. He is smart, quick, and thorough, and always asks the right questions.”
Heather Johnson — Project Manager, CDC / Northrop Grumman
“I had the pleasure of working with Pete Benoit for four years. His focus on usability and clean, maintainable code has ensured the success of many initiatives.”
Glenn Ewing — Technical Director / Architect of Communications Services
“He is that bridge between design and development that every company requires. Peter has a complete handle on some very advanced CSS techniques to tackle problems in a maintainable and efficient way. Any team will be better for having him.”
