Lewis Lewin
Integration-focused Full-Stack Engineer
I scale Patchworks' next-gen iPaaS currently handling 9M+ operations / day, ship features that close game changing enterprise deals, and build AI-powered scripting that lets non-devs automate and support data flows without touching code.
About
Code has been my favourite puzzle since trying to hack together dodgy Minecraft mods to make cutting wood less of a bore. That curiosity never switched off, evenings still find me making small apps to interact with random APIs . I count myself lucky to spend office hours, and after hours doing the thing that has tested my patience for all these years.
That hobby turned serious at Nottingham Trent, where a sandwich-year placement dropped me into Patchworks integration team. I was supposed to stay twelve months, instead, I kept shipping fixes and features alongside my final-year exams, proved useful, and never really left. After graduating I stayed on in Application Engineering while moonlighting as a technical account manager working with some of Patchworks' largest clients squash pain points and improve NPS scores.
Today I'm on Patchworks' Software Engineering team, I've implemented self-service enterprise SSO to unlock game-changing deals, AI-powered scripting and anything else that keeps data flowing cleanly between platforms. I'm happiest where distributed systems, clean APIs and human-centred UX meet, and I still unwind by tinkering with Rust, Go and Svelte, exploring new orchestration patterns, or starting a new project ultimately destined for my github archives.
Skills
Core Competencies
These are the languages and frameworks I use daily to build robust, production-ready software.
Expanding My Toolbox
Currently diving into these technologies to broaden my back-end and infrastructure skills.
On My Radar
These are the next tools and concepts I plan to learn to stay at the cutting edge.
- Full-Stack Software Engineer @ Patchworks• Own reliability of distributed Laravel iPaaS (9 M+ ops / day) across 200+ merchants.
• Rolled out self-service enterprise SSO (OIDC / SAML), unblocking a game-changing deal.
• Launched AI script generator empowering non-technical users. - Application Engineering Lead @ Patchworks• Led 5 engineers + 3 support across 2 time zones; introduced async stand-ups & weekly retros.
• Authored Rust / Go CLI suite, reclaiming ~3 h/engineer/week of manual toil.
• Mentored three juniors to mid-level through pair-programming and design reviews. - Application Engineer @ Patchworks• Developed and built with Patchworks legacy integration builder software working closely with clients from design to delivery.
- BSc (Hons) Software Engineering @ Nottingham Trent• Dissertation: Python automation suite adopted by Patchworks support.
• Key modules: Web Application Development, Software Architecture.
