About

Hey ๐Ÿ‘‹ My name is Luke, and I am a mobile app developer with over a decade of experience in studying user experience, design, and development. I am proficient in several programming languages, including JavaScript, PHP, Swift, Objective-C, and Java. In the past 4 years, I have focused my work exclusively on React Native applications, and my contributions to the React Native open source community have been significant. I have contributed code to several popular libraries, including Expo, React Native Image Picker, and React Native Camera Roll, and have built over 30+ open source libraries, with the most popular one reaching over 50k downloads and still growing. One of my strengths as a developer is my ability to lead and set up effective architecture, quality control tooling, and methodologies that emphasize clean code, scalability, and error handling. My articles on Medium have also gained a following, as I write about these topics and offer valuable insights and tips for fellow developers. As a team member, I prioritize kindness and supportiveness. I try to bring humor into the workplace as much as possible, as I believe that a lighthearted approach can foster positive relationships and encourage productivity. I also value honesty, openness, and acceptance in my personal and professional relationships. Thanks for reading, and have a great day! โค๏ธ
