BROOKO UK NETWORK // me.brooko.uk

Code, systems, design, and the lab work behind it.

I’m Luke Brookes — a freelance designer and hands-on systems builder learning by building real things: websites, admin panels, self-hosted services, and clean tools for the BROOKO UK NETWORK.

This home page is the front door: who I am, what I’m building, what I’m learning, and where the rest of the network fits.

Current build snapshot

The active work behind the site, written like a live portfolio instead of just a skills list.
01 / control

Overnet Web Manager

Packaging the admin side into its own installable web manager, with domain-folder editing, settings, users, roles, and a safer update flow.

Admin control • File editor • System Administrator role

Shared site system

Building the public network around shared styling, reusable includes, central error pages, clean versions, and public-safe write-ups.

More than just servers and code

I also keep the personal side in the site: gaming, Discord community work, Minecraft/TheBrokenRealm ideas, films, TV, fishing, and the random projects that usually turn into the next thing I learn.
