Wes was able to quickly look at my app and see what needed to be fixed. He also offered great suggestions on how I could improve my code.

Wes solved my troubleshooting issue very, very fast. It took very little explaining on my part, and he went right to the issue and explained why it wasn't working and then produced the solution in an instant. I highly recommend him and expect to be calling upon him again for help.

Wes did a great job helping me build a fairly complicated webpack build. It took about as long as I expected, and in the end I got the production code I was looking for.

Very patient and gives good guidance. Helps structure sessions in a way that helps you build on things you already know and provides good examples to the things you don't know.

I was responsible for implementing a complete redesign of the main site and the Dish blog as a WordPress theme, creating a number of custom plugins to handle some of the more complex back-end features (for example, syncing the WordPress user logins on both sites to a single sign-on API), and then migrating both sites to a new multisite installation.

Previously a WordPress site hosted at forwardcenter.net, now part of the main Drupal site. I installed and configured the blog module, created the necessary page / block templates, styled everything to match the rest of the site, wrote a script to migrate all the posts from the previous database, and set up a redirect from the old domain to the current URL.
