Luke Bradley

My name’s Luke. From LA, based in NYC.

I’m interested in how people live, work, think, learn, interact with one another, and make meaning for themselves — and in how we build technologies in service of these things.

I graduated from Harvard with a degree in Social Studies. My academic focus was on the philosophy of technology, with many detours.

I recently left Basis (AI for accounting; employee #9) after 2+ years, and I’m now taking some time to explore.
