Hello. I am Chris Lewis, a web developer without a website.

I specialize in making sites and tools related to fonts and typography. I worked for many years at MyFonts, and more recently for Font Bureau.

I am available for freelance work if you have ideas. I tend to enjoy projects headed by designers who just need a little help implementing technical aspects of the project behind the scenes. This includes server-side PHP or Python as well as front-end Javascript interactions.

I also love iOS app development, but I am not very good at it. If you are patient and have a great idea for an app, I would likely be happy to pour many hours into it at cheap rates!

You can find me on Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and email at chris@chrislewis.codes.
