Who's behind this

Luke Moody.

Senior full-stack engineer based in Manchester. Self-taught — no CS degree — started as an illustrator, ended up building AI product interfaces for a living.

By day I work as a Senior Engineer at Sourceful, building the frontend for Riverflow.ai. Outside of that I build my own products and take on the occasional project for founders who need someone who thinks like a builder.

I'm selective about what I take on. If you're building something genuinely interesting, get in touch.

Got something worth building?

I take on a small number of React / Next.js projects each year. If you're a founder with something genuinely interesting — not a brochure site — I'd love to hear about it.
