Hi, I’m Luke.

I’m a software engineer in Bristol, UK. I like the low-level stuff: Linux and Windows internals, C and C++, and embedded systems. Outside work I build small things that are useful, or just fun.

This is where I keep my side projects and the occasional nerdy thought.


Latest project

Virtual Balloon Race: a live map of balloons drifting from London across the North Sea, with their trails

Virtual Balloon Race

A WordPress plugin for school and charity fundraisers. Supporters buy a virtual balloon through WooCommerce, then watch it drift across a live map on real wind data. No litter, and no harm to wildlife.

I built it for my local school association, and I’m planning to share it with anyone who wants to run their own race.
