About Jonathan McDonald

I’m a working musician-turned web developer, which has made me a creative problem solver. I often find myself searching for the most efficient path. I love learning about new tools and technologies, and then putting them to use. My other interests include musical composition and photography.Github: https://github.com/jlmcdPortfolio: https://jonmcd.me
