Lewis Whittard
Developer & Support Analyst | Championing Software Sustainability, Quality, and Continuous Improvement
With a solid foundation built through roles as an Apprentice Tester, Junior Tester, Junior Developer, and most recently as a Second Line Support Analyst and Level 4 Apprentice Developer, I've gained hands-on experience across multiple facets of the software industry. I'm always looking to expand my skill set, and I continue to explore new technologies and development practices through personal projects and ongoing learning.
Hobbies and Interests
Outside of work, I stay active with kickboxing and snowboarding, both of which keep me energized and focused. I also enjoy travelling whenever I get the chance—it’s a great way to recharge and find inspiration. I’ve always had a passion for computing history and love following Formula 1, both of which fuel my curiosity and broaden my perspective on innovation and performance. Many of my side projects, which will be showcased on this portfolio site, reflect my passion for tech and creativity.
