About

Hi, I’m Lewis

Frontend leaning Full-stack engineer building responsive, scalable, and beautifully designed digital products with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL.

I've spent the last five-plus years across media, insurance, and health technology, turning complex product goals into polished, production-ready applications.

My core technical stack involves React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL, and Vercel. I care deeply about modern web architecture — ensuring blazingly fast load times via React Server Components, clean API integrations with Next.js, and accessible user interfaces.

I focus on full-stack website development, architecture, and performance — building accessible, well-tested interfaces and the APIs behind them.
