Full-Stack Developer & Systems Architect
Luke Larsen
I write systems code in Rust and C, ship full-stack web and desktop applications, and run the Linux infrastructure underneath. Architecture through deployment, one set of hands.
About
I'm a full-stack developer and systems architect with a background in web development, systems programming, and DevOps. I work in PHP and JavaScript on the front end, drop down to C, C++, and Rust when performance matters, and design and manage the Linux infrastructure it all runs on.
I contribute to open source projects, develop interactive applications and tooling, and manage my own self-hosted infrastructure. I bring that same end-to-end ownership to client work: architecture, implementation, deployment, and the maintenance afterward.
AI tools are good at generating snippets. Shipping reliable software takes more than generated code. I bring real-world architecture decisions, hands-on debugging, security review, long-term maintainability, and someone who is accountable when it matters. AI-generated code has already shipped real vulnerabilities, from package managers with token-theft bugs to projects riddled with hardcoded secrets and injection flaws. Having a human review the full picture is how you catch what automation misses.
