Luke Bertram is a versatile web developer and illustrator with a decade of hands-on experience building Rails and modern JavaScript applications, alongside strong front-end skills in HTML5, CSS3, Angular, and React. He transitioned from hobbyist coder to professional in 2017 and has held roles from full-stack contractor work to senior engineering at Kyruus, blending design sensibility with production engineering. Comfortable in freelance and team settings, he’s shipped authentication and API integrations for Rails/React apps and contributed UI features across remote projects using GitHub. His background in illustration and practical trades—like years as an HVAC technician—gives him a pragmatic, detail-oriented approach to problem solving and user-focused design. Based in Portland, OR, he currently freelances as an illustrator and web developer, bringing both visual craft and full-stack fluency to small teams and indie projects. A former pizza server and beertender, he also brings grounded customer-facing experience that informs clear communication and empathetic product decisions.
