About Me

My name is Lewis Cowles. I am a software engineer, former digital architect & CTO, current small company owner.

My primary skill is as an expert in ensuring software helps people.

I help people in businesses to effectively use technology to engage users, automate the mundane, fix the broken, and implement features to achieve their end-user's goals.

It is my deeply held belief that people who are helped, are the easiest to sell to! It is reciprocity in action.
