About Me
Agile Project Manager, Author, Technology Leader
Hello, I'm Luke Percy
I'm an experienced Agile Project Manager with over 20 years in the technology sector, specialising in game development, enterprise CMS platforms, and government digital services. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working on diverse projects that have shaped my approach to delivering value through agile methodologies.
My gaming career includes leadership roles at prominent studios like Sidhe (now PikPok) and Synty Studios, where I contributed to the success of titles such as Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge, Shatter, and Star Wars: Clone Wars. In the enterprise and government space, I've led multimillion-dollar CMS implementations using Umbraco, Drupal, Silverstripe, and Squiz DXP, including the Department of Internal Affairs Common Web Platform.
Beyond technology, I'm also an author. My book, "The Dark That Dwells Beneath Te Aro," is available as both print and audiobook on Amazon, Spotify, and Audible, earning 4.5 stars from readers. This creative outlet complements my technical work and reflects my belief in diverse skill development.
