Hi, I'm Luke.

Born in China. Raised in Australia. Building in America.

I'm a tinkerer at heart—I love understanding how things work and creating something new. From 3D printing prototypes to building custom mechanical keyboards, I find joy in bringing ideas to life with my hands.

Code is my favorite medium. There's something magical about turning thoughts into programs that solve real problems.

Competed for my Australian high school chess team. The game taught me to think several moves ahead—a skill I apply to engineering every day.

I'm an explorer at heart. I took a year and a half break to travel the world, exploring most of Southeast Asia. On another journey, I discovered much of Europe. Travel feeds my curiosity and reminds me there's always something new to learn.

Always learning • Always building • Always curious
