About Lukasz Luke Kosewski

A huge body of science fiction - mostly anything not-Star-Trek - represents a future in which technology has created or aided the creation of a world with large wealth imbalance, a lack of growth and opportunity, or an outright war between machines and humans. As a passionate builder of technology products for 20 years, I work to avoid that future.I take hard, unsolved problems and turn them into products to benefit society. I\'m chiefly known for prototyping and coming up with proof-of-concepts quickly. After years of doing that on other people\'s payroll, I\'ve now amplified this ability by launching a company - Orbital Electric Systems, building the world\'s first better-than-gas electric vehicles for smaller-than-a-car markets. If you want to change the world for the better by electrifying the over vehicles sold annually via first-rate engineering, come talk to me!Prior to running Orbital, I worked on was what is now known as the Livewire motorcycle. Even earlier than that, I amassed a vast reservoir of distributed system experience, coupled with ability to code in a grab bag of languages (C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, C#, x86 assembler, Pascal/Delphi, many SQL flavors, etc.) and work in low-level-OS (Linux/Windows kernel & embedded system/smartphone), networking, build & deployment systems, enterprise-scale infra, and high-level application code -\"full stack\" in the real sense, not just \"SQL + Rails + Javascript.\" I also worked in all manner of companies, from 2-person startups with interns working from my bedroom, 20-50 person SMEs with VAR networks, banks and established private enterprises, through to multi-thousand-employee public companies. I\'ve successfully delivered in all of these situations.What little is left of my spare time is occupied with tinkering with computers and mechanical devices of all sorts. I don\'t update this page and I do a lot of new stuff. I don\'t like Java programming but I *do* like scuba diving, hiking, and motorcycles.
