My name is Luke Jackson. I am a developer/designer based in Newcastle, UK.
I love building new things.. I enjoy taking ideas from concept to prototype and getting them out into the wild. I am an ideas person with a lot of inspiration and will put my all into any project that really excites me or challenges my expertise.
Whilst studying at university I took a great interest in enterprise and entrepreneurship, dedicating a lot of my spare time to experimenting with various business models and networking with corporate and startup communities around the North East.
I am currently freelancing for select clients and working on my own projects. My long term goal is to make a living off of one of my startups but I am always open to collaboration or employment opportunities. Get in touch if you have and queries.
