I'm not much of a bragger, however, on this special occassion of your visit, I think it's worth doing. I take pride in the work that I do, that is why I am particular about attention to detail and producing end results that not only my clients are pleased with but that I am pleased to showcase myself. I don't just want to get the job done, I want to get it done right. Here are some happy customers I've enjoyed working with along with some awards that have come my way.
These are some of the achievements that have landed on my desk.

Here are some of the kind words my clients have said about working with me.
Jesse is a person you can just send work to and trust it gets done. Once it's started it's finished up very quick. The thing I like about working with him is he used to be a designer so I can just send through PSDs and everything turns out identical to the comp. He's also always willing to try and make something work.- Ian McFadyen, Creative Director @ Ian McFadyen Design in Toronto
I just wanted to let you know I received a lot of great feedback on Jesse from the guys at Solspace who he was working with on the performance evaluation of the site. Also, I wanted to say that I am very appreciative of his extra efforts to make sure the site performance met our expectations.- Michael Capon, Manager, Information Technology @ ARC Resources Ltd.
My name is Jesse Knowles. I'm a husband and a father of two beautiful boys. We live in Calgary Alberta, next to the beautiful Canadian Rockies. I love learning new things and I'm also an extreme DIY'er. I'm passionate about the things I do and strive to do them right. I love learning about history, economic and political theories, new technologies and anything geeky. I enjoy photography and travelling, but honestly, who doesn't? I also work on a Mac.
In the spring of 2001 I graduated from John Brown University where I played for the varsity soccer team and studied both Digital Media and Graphic Design. I learned a lot about print and web design there as well as how to program websites, video editing and even 3d modelling and animation. I started out working as a flash developer when Macromedia ruled the day but now I mainly build HTML5 websites with various other technologies integrated in as needed. I have worked extensively with PHP doing server-side development as well as Javascript and CSS to make my websites functional and look pretty. I have worked with several Content Management Systems (CMS) over the years, I've even built several from scratch, but my most trusted are definitely ExpressionEngine and CraftCMS.
I have been building websites and mobile apps for over 15 years. In the summer of 2006 I started a full-time web development company, Kinoli and a couple years later I incorporated. My company has grown every year that I've been running it. It's just me but I hire outside designers and developers from time-to-time to help with the work load. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with some amazing people and clients over the years and my experience and passion for what I do continues to grow. I recently built an online apparel company where I'm able to pursue some of my creative passions of combining popular culture themes in satirical graphic t-shirts. Check out Mashup Apparel.
