What clients say

We embed as a true partner. Here’s what that feels like.

Luke at Appgroup worked with us at uMotif for just under a year and made a significant contribution in helping us build a new app from scratch using the very latest technologies. SwiftUI was still in its infancy and not a proven technology in production but Luke quickly became something of a SwiftUI expert. He implemented a large variety of features that were well tested in a complex and regulated environment requiring collaboration between several teams. He stood out as an experienced, friendly, well-liked and highly creative developer. I'd happily recommend Luke.

uMotif Lead Developer

I have worked closely with Luke at Appgroup over the past 2 years on the development of an iOS app for the Sensium wireless vital sign monitoring system. Luke quickly understood the benefit such an app would bring the product and used his skills to realise that, in the face of challenging technical constraints. Luke's standard of work is always of a very high quality so he made the job of testing the product easy. He has good time management skills and always works hard to achieve a deadline. Above all, I have been impressed by Luke's can-do attitude and his willingness to adapt to the processes required for regulated medical software development.

Software Design Engineer, Sensium

Luke has shown that he is an incredibly gifted designer and manager. He has always given good strong advice when confronting complex problems or when designing a game to be fun, as well as many other things. His ideas are compelling and inspirational and he has all the qualities required in a Design Director. It has been a pleasure working with/for Luke.
