Luke Liasi profile picture Luke Liasi

I'm Luke, a Senior Software Developer based in the UK with over 11 years of experience building software.

Luke Liasi

I specialise in full-stack development, with expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node.js. My experience spans from crafting intuitive user interfaces to building robust backend systems using technology such as Express.js, SQL/NoSQL databases, and APIs.

I'm passionate about creating efficient, well-organised systems that prioritise performance, accessibility and security. Solving complex problems and optimising user experiences are at the core of my work.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy staying active through skiing, swimming, and running. I also unwind with gaming in my free time.
