"summary": "I’ve done most things “web”, for over 20 years, beginning my career as a graphic designer, evolving into a Web Engineer. At various points in my career I’ve called myself a webmaster, web UX designer, back-end engineer, and front-end engineer. These days I might call myself a front-end-leaning full-stack engineer, but I prefer to just call myself flexible. Also, I’m a developer who “gets” design!",
