Top SchoolLuke Lincoln is a founder and frontend engineer with a decade of experience building visually-driven web applications, currently shipping UI at Canva while running Kinu Reader, a multilingual reading tool he designed to accelerate language learning to B1. He blends deep academic roots in computer vision and image processing (PhD-level research) with hands-on expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, WebGL and graphics-heavy front-end engineering. Beyond coding, he sketches UI and illustrations for his projects and maintains creative experiments on CodePen and an active art practice on Instagram. Luke has taught systems and graphics programming at university level and has repeatedly moved between research, product and full-stack roles, giving him a rare mix of algorithmic rigor and product sensibility.
