Wes Lord

Journeyman Programmer

This gun's for hire

I'm a Canadian full-stack programmer.

Need some React? How about TypeScript? Or maybe a little Django? Those are my specialties, but I'm broadly curious and ready to pick up new languages and frameworks.

(...except Java.)

Above all, I like helping interesting companies build cool things. If you're building a cool thing and need a pair of skilled hands, get in contact and let's set up a contract.
