I’m a Product Engineer with 20 years of experience building AI-native products, tools, and digital services — working embedded within product teams and design-led studios, I take on the technical lead role from within the team: client-facing, on-site & across their tools, and responsible for delivery end-to-end.

My current focus is agentic AI applications with genuine human impact: from conversational AI for care-experienced young people, to production AI analysis platforms, to voice-based AI games for children. I bring a rare combination of full-stack engineering, deep expertise in frontend, LLM production experience, and a formal design background from the The Royal College of Art and CIID — which shapes how I think about AI interaction, not just implementation.

I’ve launched new digital products and services, websites, microsites, interactive experiences, co-founded a design-futures consultancy, prototyped a 24-hour immersive experience, made a synthesiser out of cheese, and taught people to prototype anything.

I’ve worked with some amazing designers and teams over the years including: Bompas & Parr, DDB Health, DesignStudio, dn&co, ELSE, Fabrica, Fjord, Imagination, Moving Brands, Recipe Design, TBWA/Media Arts Lab

I’ve worked across industries building experiences for clients including: Alfa Romeo, Alzheimer’s Research Trust, Apple, Benetton, Bluebird, Clairol, Coca-Cola, Escada, Fiat, Head & Shoulders, Hermès, Honda, Hewlett Packard, KPMG, Lacoste, LG Electronics, Maserati, Microsoft, Nokia, Oracle, Paramount, Philips Healthcare, Range Rover, SwissLife, The World Economic Forum, Universal, Vauxhall, Warner Bros, Wikimedia Foundation.

I’m currently looking for a full-time AI Product Engineering role. If you’re building with AI and need someone who can move fast from idea to working product, I’d love to hear from you. Email hello@lukesturgeon.co.uk to start a conversation.
