Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Henderson is a Senior Engineering Manager and hands-on technologist with over two decades of cross-disciplinary experience bridging electrical engineering and full-stack web development. He began his career designing test hardware and FPGA-based systems for semiconductor and imaging products, then transitioned into software where Python, C++, and embedded C have been staples throughout. For the past decade he’s led engineering teams—often offshore—while building modern web platforms using Django, React/Redux and contemporary JS toolchains.

Colleagues know him for pragmatic technical leadership, a preference for lightweight C++ in embedded contexts, and a long-standing loyalty to Altera FPGAs and SystemVerilog that inform his systems-level thinking.
