Scouting report
Ex-early-GitHub, now Workbrew; community & product builder
assessed from open-source footprint
Principal
88signal
Luke is a principal-level generalist with rare pedigree — early GitHub, now at Workbrew — and 274 followers. His most-starred work is community-flavoured: ex-githubber-companies (125★), a directory of companies founded by former GitHub staff. Original code output is modest (20 repos, 173 commits last year) and spread across JS/Ruby/Swift, so he reads strongest for roles blending product, developer-community, and ecosystem savvy rather than heads-down engineering.
