Full-Stack Dev & Founder @ NeuroMoney.
About Me
I’m Luke Henderson, a Full Stack Developer and current MSc student in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Newcastle University, following my 2:1 in Business Management from Northumbria University. My journey blends a strong technical foundation with business acumen, having spent several years developing automation systems, web applications, and cloud-based solutions. Professionally, I’ve worked with technologies like Python, Django, FastAPI, MySQL, and cloud platforms such as Google Cloud, Azure, and DigitalOcean. My experience spans from building automated data pipelines at Cleardata UK to integrating REST and GraphQL APIs at Zynk Software, all while promoting DevOps and Agile best practices to deliver efficient, scalable solutions.
Beyond work and study, I’m endlessly curious, a trait that spills into my love for ancient history. Whether it’s the strategies of Rome, the resilience of Carthage, or the mysticism of Ancient Briton, I find inspiration in how past civilizations shaped technology, trade, and governance. This fascination often influences how I approach problem-solving: strategic, structured, and deeply analytical.
A quieter passion of mine is cultivating bonsai trees and caring for succulent plants. I love building small indoor penjing landscapes inspired by ancient gardens, miniature scenes that balance structure, patience, and storytelling. It’s a hobby that blends my fascination with history (how spaces were designed to guide movement, mood, and meaning) with the craft of shaping living trees over time. In a funny way, it mirrors software through the thoughtful pruning, long-term planning, and small improvements that compound over time.
I’m also a lifelong Star Wars fan. Finding it as an excellent escape to delve into and escape following a heavy day.
I’m currently developing NeuroMoney, a Fintech web application designed to empower neurodiverse adults in managing their finances. This passion project combines my technical expertise, entrepreneurial mindset, and commitment to inclusive, purpose-driven innovation. You can find this at NeuroMoney.io.
My Projects
Fintech application designed for neurodiverse adults. created with a HTML, CSS and JavaScript frontend, with a Google Cloud MySQL, Python and FastAPI(python) backend. This app is currently a work in progress. The idea is to help neurodiverse people take control of their spending habits, to help combat negative impulsive spending behaviours that plague up to 50% of the neurodiverse population, compared to 12% of the general population.
My personal developer portfolio website (that youre currently on!) built entirely from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The site domain is managed through Google Cloud and is hosted on DigitalOcean using their App Platform service. The site highlights my key projects and skills aswell as a mini biography to explain more about me. The site features smooth scrolling navigation, a downloadable resume, and responsive design, with some basic aninmation and interactive elements, to ensure accessibility across devices. It offers a modern, user-friendly experience for visitors to explore my work and connect via social media or email.
