Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLuke Whitehouse is a Principal Engineer based in Leeds with 12+ years building and leading web platforms at scale, currently shaping the technical strategy for Sky’s Broadband digital transformation.

As a hands-on technical lead he’s pioneered capability models, A/B testing infrastructure and integrations with multiple third parties while mentoring engineers and influencing stakeholder roadmaps. His background in agency work and open-source front-end tooling informs a pragmatic focus on accessibility, developer experience and repeatable deployment practices.
