About Author

As a mechanical engineer who spent a decade managing MEP projects in San Francisco and Denver, Luke writes from the perspective of someone who lived the problems he now solves. 

He's reviewed thousands of submittals manually, dealt with 30-40% rejection rates, and felt the frustration of catching avoidable mistakes too late. Luke's articles blend technical engineering expertise with practical construction experience - explaining not just how AI can help, but why certain solutions work while others fail. His insights reveal what construction professionals actually need versus what tech companies think they need.
