Jonathan Wadsworth

Lead Developer
I've worked since early 2009 in full-time web development. I've worked as a freelancer managing my own schedule, projects, and clients. and I've worked with a development firm and a marketing firm as a developer. I've led a team of internal developers and a team of outsource developers. I enjoy most working as a developer solving problems. I enjoy coming up with and implementing innovative solutions for real-world problems. I spend most of my time in Python, PHP, JS, CSS, and HTML. I've worked with frameworks like Django, Flask, Laravel, cakePHP and CodeIgniter. I've built my own framework when necessary. I've also worked extensively in WordPress. By extensively, I mean I've built over 100 separate websites and webapps using WordPress, most of which were built without using a prebuilt theme. I've developed multiple plugins and even released several into the WordPress plugin repository.
