Welcome! I'm Luke, a backend-focused developer based in Hamilton, New Zealand. I specialize in building scalable systems, secure configurations, and clean workflows using technologies like .NET, SQL, Azure, and React Native.
I thrive on solving real-world problems through structured code and automation. Whether it's optimizing performance, troubleshooting complex environments like Xamarin, or designing intuitive dashboards, I bring clarity, precision, and curiosity to every project.
Beyond tech, I’m committed to community service—volunteering in retail, hospice, and digital support roles. I believe in learning by doing and contributing meaningfully through both paid and volunteer opportunities.

I'm excited by building systems that solve real problems — from smart automation using IoT to creating decentralized tools with Web3. Whether it's a mobile app or an interactive website, I love crafting clean, effective code.
Tech evolves fast — and I’m all in. I’m currently exploring AI and backend infrastructure, and experimenting with projects that use blockchain, real-time data, and smart contracts.
I enjoy working with other passionate people, sharing ideas, and learning together. Whether it’s through GitHub contributions or chatting with other devs online, I believe growth comes through community.
I’m focused on sharpening my skills in backend development, machine learning, and cloud infrastructure. My goal is to become a well-rounded developer who can move fluidly between frontend polish and backend logic.
Ultimately, I want to build tools that matter. Whether it’s simplifying tasks for everyday users or enabling smarter systems, I’m driven to create software that helps people and sparks change.
