Summary
Luke Baker is a Senior Software Engineer based in Bristol with 10 years of experience designing and delivering secure, scalable full-stack systems, currently leading engineering at Ambassador Theatre Group. He specializes in TypeScript across backend and frontend, serverless and containerized architectures on AWS (CDK, Lambda, SST), and applies automation and DevSecOps to reduce manual toil and enforce compliance. Luke has led teams from single-developer startups to 10-person delivery squads, architecting event-driven microservices, secure private networking, and data-sensitive SaaS platforms that met ISO/GDPR requirements. Equally comfortable shipping React frontends and GraphQL-backed services, he pairs strong typing and CI/CD with pragmatic security-by-design choices. He stays hands-on through R&D and community learning, often gravitating toward infrastructure and network security problems that reveal hidden operational risks.
