About Jeff Luck

During my tenure at Penn State University, I have been the Technology Lead for WPSU, the university’s public media station, as well as an IT Director. In addition, I have leveraged my leadership and negotiating talents as a local elected official to achieve a variety of policy goals for the region. Across those roles I have had the opportunity to coordinate and support the creative work of a group in pursuit of innovative solutions, mentor emerging talent, and deliver cost-effective, and inherently stable and secure solutions.Because of my experiences, I have familiarity, and often expertise, in the full technology stack and the glue that allows the different layers to interact. One of my strengths has been anticipating technology trends and identifying the likely champion among competing technology implementations. I am enthusiastic about technology and its potential to support a greater goal while maintaining a healthy skepticism about some of the rhetoric surrounding it.
