Pete LePage is a Senior Product Manager working on Internet Explorer at Microsoft. Pete started using and developing on the web in the mid-90’s creating his first website on GeoCities. Since then, Pete has moved on to bigger and better things. For the last two years, he’s been working with the IE. Before his role in Product Management, Pete was a tester on Visual Studio’s web design components.

With over six years at Microsoft, LePage has been designing websites since his early days in high school, evolving from the tags and GeoCities to properly styled CSS, managed hosting websites. Prior to joining the product management team, LePage was a tester on Microsoft’s Visual Web Developer where he steered much of the web design experience.

In addition to his career at Microsoft, LePage is an avid film photographer and teaches and studies at the prestigious Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle. He has recently completed his Thesis in Fine Art Photography.
