Crossville, Tennessee

Luke Elston. I fix things, build things, and fly things.

Electrician by trade, AI builder by vocation, drone pilot by license. Something's broken, something doesn't exist yet, or something needs mapping — I'm the guy on the Plateau for all three.

Three doors.

Pick the one that matches your problem. They all lead to the same truck.

01
Fix it

Computers, wifi, printers, cameras — house calls anywhere on the Plateau. No ticket number. Just Luke.

02
Build it

Sensors on the barn, an app that does one job, an AI working for your business. If you can describe it, I can probably build it.

03
Fly

Drone mapping for farms, nurseries, and land — and the long game: walking your own property in VR.

Field notes

Things I've built, in the order I'd show them to you.

01
Atlas

A drone-mapping company for the Upper Cumberland — and the Worlds: your land, scanned, then turned into a place you can walk, fly, build in, and hand to your grandkids.

02

NAFWorld

Atlas's first World: the family farm, flown, scanned, and rebuilt as a game for the Quest 3 — bows, droids, vehicles, fireflies after dark.

03

Euterpe

Piano lessons projected onto the real keys, in AR. Put the headset on, the next note lights up under your finger.

04
The Cumberland house

The house we just moved into — orbited by drone, turned into a 3D scan you can walk through in a browser.

05

Pelorus

A daily industry brief for a chemicals sales team — reads a few hundred sources overnight, lands in the inbox before coffee.

06

Clew

An app for exactly one person, grown from a single text box. One card, one step, nothing else on the screen.

07

The fleet

A few dozen small programs that run the house and the business — a morning report, a voice, the office lights, a memory that outlasts the conversation.

The long one

Harmonia.

Humanity is a brain that's missing the synapses. Harmonia is a memory system for the species — a way for the person who has your exact problem solved to find you, without either of you handing your life to a server. Privacy that's structural, not a policy. Humans decide, always. The spec exists. The code doesn't yet. It's the thing I'll still be working on when the rest of this page is history.

Things I believe

Working rules, not a manifesto.

  1. Visibility before features.
  2. If it can't be verified, it isn't done.
  3. The room should tell you — not your inbox.
  4. The interesting problems live where consciousness, cosmology, and code overlap.
  5. I work for families, farms, and small outfits.
  6. Most of it is a $6 chip and an afternoon. The rest is knowing which afternoon.
Who's Luke

Four-year electrical apprenticeship through an electric co-op, two degrees in the field, FAA-licensed drone pilot. I build AI systems for a living and fix my neighbors' wifi because somebody around here should. Moved to Crossville in 2026 with my wife, two kids, and a rescue named Vega.

Text is fastest. Email works. If you're on the Plateau, the kitchen table works best.
