Luke Manning

Generalist from tech support. Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Node.js, Docker. Self-host on Unraid. Real skill: breaking down complex problems. AI is my pair programmer.

Currently learning to ship publicly. Building was the easy part. Going deeper into Node.js, Docker, self-hosted infrastructure, AI driven software development and AI assistants.

Projex — a shadcn-style component library for dev portfolios. First thing I've shipped. Trying to figure out how to tell people about it. Also always tweaking lukemanning.ie.

If you found coding late or use AI to build without a dev background, I'd love to hear your story. Into self-hosting, indie shipping, and the real version of building in public. Not looking for work.
