# Let's Connect with Luke Ford

> Software engineer and founder in Brisbane. React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AI - full stack, shipped end to end. I build my own products (VeroID, Recon, Kerbly, Bench Club) and act as the technical partner for founders who need architecture ownership, not just delivery. Best used for the hard early calls: what stack, what to build first, how to ship in weeks not quarters.
