Luke Van Der Hoeven is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of engineering experience and a 7-year history of writing software across research and product-driven environments. He specializes in Ruby and Ruby on Rails—his language of choice for developer-friendly APIs—and brings proven full-stack experience in C/C++, Java, and Python. Luke blends hands-on development with security leadership as Chief Security Officer at TriCap, and has a track record of mentoring teams, implementing CI/CD, and reducing code churn at startups and enterprises alike. His background includes research contributions to network-attack visualization tools and real-time firmware debugging utilities, reflecting a problem-solving focus rooted in computer science rather than tool-specific training. Comfortable learning new languages as needed, he pairs pragmatic engineering with an appreciation for elegant APIs and open-source collaboration. Based in South Carolina, he balances production software delivery with security stewardship and a long-standing commitment to Ruby in both professional and personal projects.
