About Me

Hello there, I'm Benjamin Lester.

I am a full stack web developer working for SABS Travel Technologies (Corporate Travel Management) as their development manager. Formerly a full stack contractor for Chiasmata Ltd.

My experience ranges from getting small businesses online to full back end creation for multinational enterprise-level clients.

My past work experience was primarily in Python, though my first exposure to programming was using R at university. I have a lot experience in data analysis, and web scraping.

Previously I set up my own photography business (Through Ben's Lens) back in 2011 to help pay my way through university, I catered to many clients including the national press. I am still passionate about photography.

I attended Imperial College London between 2011-2014 where I gained a BSc in Microbiology with First Class Honours.

Outside of work I love riding my bicycle, especially up hills working my way through Simon Warren's 100 Greatest Climbs book. You can find me on Strava. I also play guitar and enjoy skiing.

I hate writing things like this about myself, can you tell?
