# Luke O'Regan

London, UK · 10:12 local time, awake

I'm a senior full-stack developer and digital strategist based in the UK. For more than 15 years, I've been building high-performance websites and web applications, bringing a background in graphic design together with hands-on development.

I currently work as a Senior Full-Stack & Multimedia Developer at [Direct Design Studio](https://dda.co.uk/), building web applications and CMS-driven websites from design and architecture through to deployment and ongoing optimisation.

## What I do

My work spans full-stack development, WordPress and other CMS platforms, e-commerce, and SEO and performance optimisation. I care about making websites useful, fast, and straightforward to maintain.
