Hi. I'm Lucas Willett.

I'm a software architect and Rails enthusiast from Brisbane, Australia. I'm quite lovable, I have my own car and some CDs and I saw Sigourney Weaver one Friday at a coffee shop (she was eating a piece of cake).

I also have a strong passion for working with and in startup companies (especially those dealing with the engineering and construction industries). I believe very deeply in the power of open-source software and software development to change the world for good.
