I worked with Wesley while he was a Front End Architect at Golden Frog. He was integral in helping me get up to speed with our Front End department and how our teams should interact. He's cheerful, a clear communicator and an extremely diligent problem solver. He taught me many things with clarity and kindness, and I would absolutely work with Wesley again. He would be an asset to any team, especially those that value mentoring, clear communication, and good documentation.

Feb 2019 - Jul 2019
I took time off from my career to pursue a creative passion—a graphic novel that will feature original characters that have been with me for decades. I am satisfied with the results: 1. Researched and documented the scope and demands of the project. 2. Engineered a cohesive story outline and interesting characters. 3. Planned the project as a long-term creative personal hobby. With the most difficult and engrossing phase complete, I am ready to return to the software industry, and make more than just another web product—I want to make a difference. Show less
