Personal
Hey there, I'm Luke.
I am a software developer, music producer and School of Code graduate. I have a strong passion for problem solving and creating inspiring content, whether this be through writing, music or code.
I used to fix computers
After several years working in technology, mainly focusing on hardware support, I recently decided to take the leap and swap the toolkit for JavaScript and join the School of Code. I now focus most of my time working professionally as a front end developer, and working on freelance projects.
I'm a keen hiker and love travelling...
After moving to Vancouver for two years in 2017, I fell in love with the city and spent the latter half of 2018 building a camper van and travelling around North America with my girlfriend. We visited over 20 National Parks and learnt much more than we ever anticipated. Check out my Instagram for more!
