Headshot

Hi! My name is Luke :)

I’m originally from New Jersey.

I currently study Computer Science at Cornell University.

I'm excited about the many applications of data and software – from developing data models that explain consumer behavior, to building data-driven apps that make tasks more efficient, I'm enthusiastic about leveraging technology in creative, user-friendly and scalable ways.
