Grahame Jones

Full Stack Web Developer

Hi there 👋 I'm a Vancouver based web developer with 10+ years of experience.

Over the years I've built many websites and applications with WordPress and Drupal. I've lead teams, been a mentor, wrote business plans and introduced new policies and procedures.

 

I am not accepting any additional freelance work at this time.

I am seeking a co-founder.

I am open to new opportunities.
