Luke resembles a lot of what Heath and the business represent: being driven by unique challenges, embracing community, and facilitating opportunities for the next generation of young pioneers. 

From developing embedded hardware for medical innovations at the University of Newcastle, to co-founding a successful STEM education business selling educational technology products and services, Luke’s history in electronic development is highly diverse and terrifically Hunter-based. 

What inspired Luke to join our team after 8 years across a diversity of industries, was the opportunity to get his hands stuck into the distinctly unique projects that our nimble consultancy-based business facilitates.

Luke loves the unpredictability that a custom development project creates, and is excited by the prospect of assisting customers from idea through to end-product in their development journey.
