Luke is a software engineer, a musician, a poet, and a meditation student.

As a software engineer he has focused on creating intuitive and maintainable data products for user groups like small store owners and large gas utility companies. In his last few roles he has worked with kind and capable teams at companies doing some form of social good. His last role was at Fero Labs, a company that develops explainable machine learning solutions for industrial applications.

In his music he has explored a variety of genres, starting in the realm of guitar based singer-songwriter music before venturing into making electronic music with modular synthesizers and other gear. He is also currently a student of tabla and Indian classical music.

In his poetry writing he explores spiritual themes with an emphasis on visual imagery and rhythm. He regularly updates the writing blog here and also has a poetry newsletter you can sign up for below. He also curates some of these poems with photos in a seasonal zine.

Luke has studied Buddhist meditation extensively, doing his first Vipassana meditation retreat in 2006 and subsequently also doing retreats at IMS’s Forest Refuge. In recent years his practice has been very inspired by the Soto Zen tradition of Shunryū Suzuki and the concept of beginner’s mind.

“Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else.”

— Shunryū Suzuki {Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind}
