Luke Hedger ~ Software Engineer

Hello! I'm Luke, a software engineer currently working on distributed systems, serverless, event sourcing, durable execution and software factories. I'm the co-author of The Serverless Book and I've spoken at various conferences and meetups.

I have worked at the LEGO Group, Cancer Research UK, JAAK Music, Unlease, M&C Saatchi and Lean Mean Fighting Machine. Since 2019 I have been leading serverless engineering teams.
