Always been a fan of graph paper, but I feel that it might be lacking pencil sketches and an element of being hand-drawn (or hands-on even) to it. League Gothic seems to be working really well with this concept -- it's got a playful and creative feel to it. VItesse is a very machined looking font, and *could* serve very well for that "development" feel. All depends on what you're trying to emphasis, I suppose.
Ironically, I was playing around with some pencil shavings earlier today. Take a look!
I'd reconsider using the combination of "Front-end Developer" and "Web Designer." Web Designer is the new Webmaster. Visual Designer, User Experience Designer, and even Front-end Designer speak to a much more qualified group of individuals.

I like the graph but the subtle fade outs make me think of warn graph paper, but lacking the texture. The type kicks ass though, what are you using?

I may add some sort of grain texture. Still thinking it out.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm using Vitesse and League Gothic.

Removed worn areas on graph. Added texture, gears & darker lines to match my design grid.
