I understand AppSec, SEO, BFF & API, Reuse & Shared Components (Micro-Frontends), Readability and how to produce code that other developers love extending and supporting because it is so well structured. I want to Code AND Lead a team. I build beautiful software and enjoy doing it. While I still want to write my own software, I enjoy spending roughly 60% of my time developing and supporting other Angular / Ionic engineers to be the best they can be. I know Software is a team sport, and I love teaching and mentoring people on my team to improve their work and skills. My energy is contagious. Teams I\'ve led seem to grow leaders and great developers of great software. We have a tone of what is acceptable in our team, and we are always raising it. I make things happen. I\'m a problem solver. I have a reputation as someone that people pull in when there is a tough problem to solve.
