Full-Stack Developer & Systems Architect
Luke Larsen
I write systems code in Rust and C, ship full-stack web and desktop applications, and run the Linux infrastructure underneath. Architecture through deployment, one set of hands.
About
I'm a full-stack developer and systems architect with a background in web development, systems programming, and DevOps. I work in PHP and JavaScript on the front end, drop down to C, C++, and Rust when performance matters, and design and manage the Linux infrastructure it all runs on.
I contribute to open source projects, develop interactive applications and tooling, and manage my own self-hosted infrastructure. I bring that same end-to-end ownership to client work: architecture, implementation, deployment, and the maintenance afterward.
AI can generate snippets; shipping reliable software still takes someone who owns the whole picture. I bring the architecture decisions, security review, and accountability that turn code into production systems.
Featured Work
Author Toolkit
A writing workbench for novelists: manuscript editor, tracked Story Bible, continuity audits, and dozens of AI-assisted tools in an offline-capable PWA. Bring your own Claude or OpenAI key.
Live Code Complexity Analyzer
Paste JavaScript and get per-function cyclomatic and cognitive complexity, a D3 dependency graph, diff mode, and AI refactor suggestions. React + CodeMirror 6, built to a single file.
Terraform Visualizer
Paste any HCL configuration and get an interactive force-directed dependency graph of resources, data sources, variables, and outputs — parsed live as you type, in vanilla JS.
Infrastructure Health Dashboard
A full-stack monitoring dashboard: PHP API ingesting metrics into SQLite, live Chart.js visualizations of CPU, memory, response time, and network, with automatic alerting.
