I'm Luke, a software developer interested in backend and full-stack roles.
I’m a highly motivated self-starter driven by a genuine passion for technology and creative problem solving. I get satisfaction from crafting and implementing technical solutions that address user needs in innovative and impactful ways. At the Museum of London I progressed from a systems administration role to being the Systems and Data Lead, responsible for the management and development of systems to document a collection of over 6 million items. I thrive on learning new languages, frameworks and technologies and solving complex challenges. In my free time I develop personal projects in order to hone my skills and keep up to date with emerging technologies. I also regularly participate in tech events in Glasgow, including Tech Meetup, JavaScript Meetup and Python Meetup.
