Don't Be In The Blind Spot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_blind_spot

Whether you're cruising through traffic or in the office, it's always in your best interest to stay out of a blind spot -- Grant Lipelt, circa 2020.

I'm all for humility, midwestern nice, and a reserved nature of stating your achievements or participation in projects.  I child of 'Americans Heartland' we don't tend to make a 'big deal' of our contributions; work hard, keep your head down and do the work.  I've always been a "we" kinda guy; 'we fixed the problem', 'we discovered...',...it's a team effort.

Aside from annual performance appraisals, where you let your let your accomplishments fly, most people I work with aren't overly boastful.  Team members who are heavy on the "I", I don't tend to view favorably, even if they're being 100% honest.

But, when your boss is faced with making difficult decisions it's best that they have sufficient info to make it.  A good boss will know each members involvement in tasks, their proficiency, their experience and such.  Some don't though.  The risk to a heavy introvert who doesn't communicate their involvement in day-to-day activities or even their pure brilliance in solving significant problems 100% dependent on their boss paying close attention.

Focus on the work, do great stuff, and make sure your boss knows your value.  This isn't specific to remote work, but it certainly is heavily impacted.  Being the 'wizard behind the curtain', doing great things daily can sometimes be overlooked "out of sight, out of mind".  Make sure you're communicating your involvement, acknowledge the participation of others...it's a team effort.

Cheers.
