I'm Luke. Software engineer at ResMed, on the comms layer between our medical devices and the cloud. Before this I wrote firmware for solar race cars at UNSW and did a stint of cloud consulting at Deloitte. So mostly embedded, a bit of cloud, a lot of stuff in the middle that has to keep talking to itself without falling over.
I've been meaning to start writing for a while now. The honest reason is that I keep having opinions about how we build software and then losing them, somewhere between the standup and the next sprint. Writing them down seems to be the only way I actually hold onto any of it.
Stuff I think I'll end up writing about:
- Device-to-cloud comms — protocols, transport, the bits that look fine in staging and explode in the field
- GenAI tools — I use them every day at work and have a lot of opinions about which ones earn their keep
- General engineering opinions, including the unpopular ones
- Whatever's annoying me at work this week
If something here is wrong, tell me. Genuinely. Easier to find out from a stranger than from prod.
