Luca Marchal
Founder at Gaffe
London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuca Marchal is a founder and full‑stack engineer with 11 years’ experience building product-facing systems and grassroots cultural projects in London. He blends deep React and Node.js expertise—honed across startups, enterprise internal tools at Monster Energy EMEA, and Web3 marketplaces—with hands‑on event production, having grown Gaffe to 25,000 followers and launched a licensed venue with a Funktion-One sound system. Comfortable shipping everything from MVPs to AI-powered booking and analytics tools, Luca applies engineering discipline to sustainable, community-first nightlife rather than growth-at-all-costs commerce. His career pivot from building engagement-optimized tech to creating spaces for authentic human connection is both deliberate and rare among engineers. Equally at home tuning sound systems at sunrise or architecting backend services, he focuses on practical systems that center people and underrepresented artists. Based in London, he’s now scaling a non-profit-minded hub that marries technical product thinking with cultural impact.
