    "summary": "Foreward: I'm only interested in remote positions. I'm not interested in relocating now or ever. Additionally, my career focus is shifting away from development and into architecture and/or other related high level positions.\n\nI am a highly efficient remote developer, able to integrate with teams quickly and provide immediate value to a team. I frequently focus on efficiency in all aspects of my work: code efficiency, onboarding efficiency (writing / validating documentation for onboarding new developers), and developer efficiency (with CI/CD, code review, etc). I never stop thinking about improving business processes \"just because we've always done it that way\" and I make sure to improve these processes as much as I can.\n\nMy programming focus is on Ionic & Angular. I have been using Ionic and Angular since their 1.x release, but I frequently start up new (small) projects using the latest versions of each. I'm fairly open to working with anything JavaScript or TypeScript related, but I only do frontend work.\n\nAdditionally, I spend many hours a week working on open source projects, helping the community while furthering my knowledge of the tools, languages, and frameworks I use. I've designed numerous applications and games and took them from start to finish.",
