Summary
👤
SeniorLuk Gastmans is a Belgian educator-turned-developer and entrepreneur based in Puducherry, India, with a decade of professional software experience and a career that bridges education, sustainable craft, and practical web development. He co-founded an alternative secondary school (Center for Further Learning/Future School) and taught O/A-Level mathematics, then built enduring small-business web and POS systems using PHP/MySQL and now Laravel, including integrations with accounting APIs like Zoho. Since 2012 he runs Worktree, producing handcrafted wooden home goods, while also contributing two longstanding local biodiversity and herbarium websites and doing magazine design for the herpetology journal Hamadryad. Multilingual in Flemish, French, English and Tamil, Luk focuses on cross-cultural, low-tech-high-impact solutions tailored to small enterprises and community institutions. An underappreciated strength is that several of his legacy systems remain in active use locally, reflecting a pragmatic approach to maintainable, long-lived software.
