Design Engineer & Co-founder at Semitone

Hi, I'm Luke

I believe the hardest problems can't be solved in silos. So I bring together design, systems thinking, and over a decade of software engineering experience to build solutions that meet complexity with clarity. My work spans domains and scales, from the individual to the interplanetary.
