About

My name is Lewis and Loosely Typed is a blog where I write about life in a startup, as well as product development in the software space. After having worked for many years at the intersection of design, engineering and product development within SaaS, Fintech and Sustainability startups, I launched this blog to share my experiences and capture my reflections of life in the fast-paced and often crazy world of startups.

I specialise in web application development, API design and digital product development. Day to day I'm working with founders, engineers, designers and other stakeholders on initiatives that address end user needs and developing product-led solutions that will drive long-lasting customer retention and business growth that scales.

I enjoy working cross-functionally within agile product teams as a galvanising factor that can clarify and articulate customer pain points and rationalise and break down complex problems into manageable work packages. I'm lucky enough for the last few years to have made significant contributions to successful SaaS products within talented, highly motivated and ambitious product teams that delivered continuous customer and business value.

As my career progresses, and having worked closely with some great founders and business leaders, I have become more rounded and strategic in my thinking. I am motivated by continuously learning more about operations, strategy and product management and I'm looking to develop my career within high-growth technology businesses that offer the opportunity to work on world class products and solve important business problems for their end users.

Over the years I have worked with a wide variety of Languages, libraries and Frameworks.
