Obviously I’m Lewis Leighton and <this> is my lovely alrightish website
I am a: Web Developer/Flex Developer/Flash Developer/UI Guy/Software Developer/Engineer/Consultant/Other (feel free to delete as applicable) and I live and work in London, UK.
I’ve had the good fortune to work with some massive names in the UK online space. Having worked on projects for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 – to quote a friend you could say I’m a New Medja Whore (although I’m like so totally not) – rolled out new applications for finance and insurance companies, created pitches for fashion houses and even on occasion picked up the odd personal project.
I’m proud to say that although I’ve always focused on front end tech I have also had plenty of involvement developing backend systems with heavy server side development. I won’t be confined to one discipline or niche and I absolutely love to hit the ground running with new technologies. I’m good excellent with: Flash, Flex, AIR, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, OOP, AS3. I’ve worked on platforms using: Java, PHP, ASP, JSP, Tapestry 5, Struts, dwr, Tiles and plenty more.
