I'm Luke, a Senior Software Engineer based in the UK with over 12 years of experience building software.

Luke Liasi

I have expertise in both frontend and backend development, with strong skills in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node. I excel at creating intuitive and responsive user interfaces while also building robust and scalable backend systems.

My experience spans full-stack development, ensuring seamless integration between client-side and server-side components. This allows me to deliver complete, high-quality solutions that meet both technical and user needs.

Outside of software development, I stay active with swimming and running, and I enjoy the occasional ski trip. I’m also an avid gamer, finding it a great way to relax and unwind.
