Luckett

I build software, make music, tell stories, and solve many other creative and technical problems.

I'm a creative and a technologist, primarily known for an award-winning background as a musician, writer, producer, and extremely versatile problem-solver.

These days, the current focus is mainly on my work as a software engineer and web developer, building websites, web apps, custom tools, and interactive products. I specialize in custom solutions for arts, entertainment, and media, and I've served clients across a wide variety of sizes and industries.

I'm currently based in the NC Triangle region. However, I'm a Midwest native who has also lived and worked in Los Angeles and the NYC metro area, and has had professional gigs in cities such as Montreal, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Milan and London.

Art Mechanix is my creative studio and imprint, and where much of my body of work and catalogue live.

Code

I've been coding since childhood and began to take on clients professionally since right after college. The work has included hand-built sites and apps, content management and learning management systems, eCommerce, accessibility solutions, and open source projects. It's also spanned graphics, technical writing, and content editing. I've also been well-versed in AI technology for more than 20 years, including agentic tools.

Music

I was previously known for having written and produced original music (scores, songs, and themes) for major studios and independents in film, television, advertising, and other productions. I worked as a composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, music supervisor, music editor, recording artist, touring musician and session player. One of several solo bands in which I completed such work was Poperratic. Today, I now DJ as Sister Transistor.

Storytelling

I write fiction, non-fiction, and essays, and I've written, co-written, ghostwritten, and consulted on books, screenplays, creative and technical copywriting, radio and video commercials, animated explainer videos, and documentation for everyone from independent creatives to full-service agencies. I also direct and produce music videos and short films, including the award-winning animated video for Poperratic's "Zero Hero." My storytelling also spans concept development, graphic design, and animation, some of it award-winning.

Experience the various ways I tell stories.

It's only natural that someone with a lot of interests and experiences across different disciplines has been constantly asked to solve problems in many different forms. There are additional skills I've developed from pure passion and curiosity, too. This work also involves things like visual art, voiceovers, typewriter and electronics repair, perfumery, and other experiments in craft, expression, and mechanical gadgetry.
