Hello, I'm Luke.

Portrait photo of me, the website author, Luke Moore.

I'm a frontend developer & web designer.

I create optimized, user-centered websites that are responsive and elegant. I strive for WCAG2 AA accessibility and care deeply about the principals behind the a11y project. My skill set, experience, and education give me the ability to take on a variety of tasks that blend creativity with logical problem-solving.

My journey into tech started with building desktop computers for friends and myself so we could play games together. In 2019, I created my first website, and I’ve been hooked on learning more ever since. What excites me most about user interface design is the convergence of design, psychology, and engineering to create meaningful experiences. I studied Communication Design with a minor in Computer Science at California State University, Monterey Bay's School of Computing & Design. I'm currently interested in novel ways of expressing typography on the web and experimenting with graphics programming to bring visual effects and animations to life.

When I'm not behind the bright lumens of my screen,

I like to climb rocks, go backpacking, and learn about plant ecology.

I've posted my plant observations to iNaturalist for the past few years which helps me identify the things I photograph. Not only do I find it fun, but the data is used to help scientists with their research. As I gain more experience, a future goal of mine is to contribute to this open-source project to give back to the community.
