Welcome to ianpeters.org!

This is the Personal Website of Ian Peters in Dover, Delaware, where I host some projects I've been working on.  This includes both GIS Projects and Road Projects.

Professional and Educational Background

I am a Management Analyst II at Delaware State Parks, where I've been working since September 2019.  Prior to that, I was a Data Analyst at the Delaware Office of Highway Safety from March 2018 to September 2019.  I have also provided data cleaning and analysis as an independent contractor.  My Resume/CV can be found here.

I have a Master of Science degree in Economics and Applied Econometrics from the University of Delaware, issued in December 2017.  I also have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematical Economics, with minors in Mathematics and Physics, from Eastern Connecticut State University, issued in May 2016.  My undergraduate honors thesis on tax competition and its impact on state budgets was awarded as the best for that year.

This Website

I purchased this domain back in 2014, when I found a sale on .org domains.  I've made a few changes to the website over the years, particularly the structure and backend of each page.

In September 2023, I decided to build the website in Microsoft FrontPage 2002, to emulate how the web looked and performed before today's seemingly clunkier internet.  I don't mean connection speed (I have a 300 Mbps connection at home), but I feel that the modern internet is hindered by overly complex websites which load incredibly slowly, especially on computers that are not top of the line. In January 2024, I moved to a more standards-compliant editor, just using that built into the SeaMonkey web browser, the spiritual successor to the Mozilla Suite.
