Hi! I'm Luke :)

Developer, Designer, Musician

About Me

By day, I’m a Mechatronics Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. By night, I’m a jazz trombonist wandering the streets of KW/Toronto. Working with people from all walks of life has made me into an adaptable and efficient worker who can consistently deliver above expectations.

I’m starved for knowledge, learning as much as I can whenever I can, sharpening my time management and keen eye for detail. I aim to combine creative design and analytical thinking to create solutions in software, technology, architecture, and music.
