Hey I'm Luke.
Welcome to a little bit about me :)
Where I come from.
Grew up in Littleton Colorado, in the mountains and loved to be outdoors. From camping, hiking, backpacking, you name it, I was doing it. A breath of fresh air still brings me back to those mountains.
Colorado taught me something I didn't fully appreciate until I left which is the value of balance. I love the hustle, the speed, the energy of a place like New York. But I also need the ability to slow down, feel the nature, smell the flowers. Colorado takes me back to being a kid in a way nowhere else does, and that reminder that you can move fast AND be present.
I love to build things because I was taught if you have problem, you want to be able to make a solution. Growing up watching Tony Stark build in a cave and growing to care for the process. That is what continues to inspire everything I do to this day. The child-like joy that comes from making something new.
What I'm into right now.
“The goal is to be the person who can make something happen.”
— Rick Rubin, The Creative Act
Jazz & Hip Hop
Mac Miller, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ryo Fukui as of recentlY.
Reading
Rick Rubin's The Creative Act right now. Build by Toney Fadell is also qutie good.
Basketball Talk
Could talk hoops all day, LeBron is the Goat and Nuggest all the way
Lacrosse
Played for years. Miss the pace, still love the game.
Skiing
Colorado kid at heart. Bluebird days are therapy.
Solo Exploring
Wandering a new city alone with my thoughts and my own agenda.
Good Coffee
The fuel behind most of the above. An art form I take a lot of pride in!
Stuff I've worked on.
The homepage has the full story. These are the ones that changed how I think.
Mytra
Software Engineering Intern · Interactivity Team
Building agentic AI diagnostics for warehouses. Splunk, Postgres, K8s logs, live sensor data. Cool problems, better solutions
Stevens NLP Lab
Research Assistant
Only undergrad on a multilingual news-analysis team. Built the prototype, ran evaluations, learned how real research works
Blueprint
Project Lead
Shipping real software for nonprofit partners. Tickets, standups, stakeholder convos — leading a team from requirements to delivery.
Student Government Association
Vice President of Finance
Helping allocate the student activity fee across clubs and initiatives. Still the same instinct: making sure money goes where it helps.
EH Yang Lab
Undergraduate Researcher
My first real taste of research. Messy, humbling, and the reason I knew I wanted more of it.
Right now.
I'm the second oldest of five kids, which I think explains a lot about me. I'm at Stevens in Hoboken now, studying CS, running SGA finance, and commuting to Brisbane for Mytra when I can. I'm reading Rick Rubin, listening to Mac Miller on repeat, and trying to get to the mountains more often.
Moving from Colorado to Hoboken was a mix of exciting and overwhelming. Exactly what I needed. I love this city. Not because it's glamorous, but because the people here are grinding, they're ambitious, they're asking interesting questions. That energy is contagious and I'm grateful to be around it.
