let's make stuff
Hi! I'm Luke. I'm a platform engineer focused on data platforms, infrastructure, and developer experience.
With over a decade of experience building systems at enterprise scale, I've spent the last few years working as an independent consultant on platform engineering engagements.
I build the platforms that product teams build on.
That means designing domain-driven data architectures, building infrastructure as code, creating CI/CD pipelines, and making sure engineers can ship with confidence.
I'm currently building an agentic infrastructure platform: a platform in a box that takes applications from source code to production, with an AI engineering agent that responds to alerts and prepares fixes. Previously, I built the platform behind a large enterprise's gamification product, which served 5.8 million requests at 99.986% success in its launch week, and led the architecture of a data platform for an autonomous robotics company. Here are some tools I work with:
Python, Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Docker, PostgreSQL, GitHub Actions

Words from collaborators
"Luke was prompt and diligent with ideating and executing the ideas we had to help bring our vision to life. He expertly navigated the complexities of porting our iPhone app to Android, resulting in a seamless and polished final product. We were able to communicate and engage with a demographic of our fanbase that we didn't think would have been possible without his work and expertise. Luke's contributions were invaluable in expanding our reach, and if given the chance, I would work with him again!"
"When I set out to make ZUUT, I didn't know where to start. Luke was the perfect technical partner to help me figure out the product's direction, hire a team of designers and engineers, and get a prototype built - frequently contributing useful feature ideas of his own. He stayed on as the sole developer to turn that prototype into a live product. Luke got our app built with a high standard of quality and attention to detail."
"Luke worked with me from the start to create this cross-platform mobile game. He helped me find a great designer to draw our our mockups, built the application, handled publishing to Apple & Google's storefronts, and was instrumental in helping me find a developer for long-term maintenance of the application. Without Luke, I'm not sure if I ever would have gotten this done."
