James Edward Newell

I'm a front-end developer currently working as a Frontend Engineer at TheGateWorldwide in London, where I lead client website redesigns, integrate with CMS platforms, and ship production-ready work across WordPress, Umbraco, and Drupal. My path into tech started as a self-taught coder and grew through roles at Sky Creative Agency and Creative CX, building everything from animated web ads to A/B testing implementations in React.

Before development, I ran my own swim school. With a background in mathematics, science, and business leadership that still shapes how I work today. With clear communication, strong organisation, and a focus on outcomes in cross-functional teams. I thrive in fast-paced environments, keep learning modern technologies, and care about building user experiences that are polished, accessible, and built to scale.
