Hi, I'm Jon Winstanley
I'm a developer
I build web sites and
iPhone apps
Building things is what I enjoy doing most. Luckily for me, that's what I get to do every day.
Languages & Frameworks

React makes building interactive interfaces less painful.

Laravel is powerful yet easy to understand and has a great community around it.
Swift

Swift is powerful language with a much simpler syntax than what was there before.
