Hey, I'm Lewis 👋
Full-Stack Software Engineer
I'm a third-year undergraduate student pursuing an integrated masters in Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, one of the top-ranked universities globally. I'm currently studying abroad at the University of Hong Kong for my third year.
About Me
I'm passionate about full-stack software engineering and love building products from concept to deployment. My experience spans web development, mobile apps, and everything in between.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me on the tennis court, I captain the Informatics Tennis team and play BUCS Tennis. I'm also learning Mandarin Chinese and enjoy exploring new cultures during my time in Hong Kong.
