I have devoted the last 20 years of my life to my love of programming. My name is Jessie James Jackson Taylor and I am the Architect behind Gray Matter Forge. It is my mission to provide personalized, responsive, designs that are efficient and user friendly. Gray Matter Forge shuffled on to this mortal coil with the humble intention of bridging the gap between creativity and productivity. To state it more simply- turning mind into matter. Because here at GMF we hold nothing in higher regard than intellect and the direct aplication thereof. Our sole and singular intent will always be the pursuit of knowledge in whatever form it takes and to chase ever white rabbit no matter where it takes us. We believe that greatness is achieved through hard work that you can be proud of and the perserverance to see it through to the finest detail. Gray Matter Forge means getting it done and getting it done right. Two decades ago while looking through the screen of an open window, I saw somethin that caught my eye and peaked my interest. I saw a field where ideas could be planted, cultivated, and when brought to fruition could yield incredible results capable of revolutionizing our world. The unlimited possibilities of undiscovered platforms and unexplored paths was evident. The realization of its potential led me to pursue my interest. I set out with a firm grasp on HTML and CSS and began to forge my own path. I expanded my skillset to include a variety of programming languages and tools including PHP, mySQL, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, JQuery, Wordpress, OpenCart, Open T-Shirts, Zen Cart, SEO, and Bootstrap3.
