    "summary": "During my time designing and building for the web over the past 25 years, I have worn the hats of Webmaster, UX designer, back-end engineer, front-end engineer, and technical lead. My past and current professional roles demanded I continually adapt my skills to meet each new challenge, whether that entailed designing, coding, architecting, leading development teams, or working with clients and stakeholders. Lately, I might call myself a front-leaning full-stack engineer, focused on a React + TypeScript + Node stack, but I prefer to just call myself experienced, versatile, and adaptable.",
