About Me.

I recently graduated from York St John University with a bachelor’s degree in computer science (first‑class hons, 2025). I consider myself to be an ambitious, hard‑working individual who is passionate about web development. I have real‑world experience building websites as a freelance web developer and have completed numerous work placement sessions throughout my time in education and outside education with online courses related to the industry. I am seeking a junior software engineering role where I can develop my personal skills, be surrounded by those who love development as much as I do, and to grow alongside senior developers

"Drive 2 Learn was a mere info page from Google Sites. We started expanding but our web page remained the same for years, until Lewis turned up. He transformed our website to be professional, well-designed and functional. Lewis implemented his own ideas and forward-thinking content. Thank you very much Lewis for working with us and taking us to the next level ."
