Comfortable working across the stack, with a particular interest in understanding what happens beneath the surface.
Care about how data moves through a system, how services interact, and what can go wrong once software reaches production.
See testing and quality as part of the work itself, not something that happens at the end.
AI is already part of how you work. Tools like Claude, Copilot, and Codex aren’t new to you.
Using AI tools to learn faster, explore ideas, write code, and improve your work.
Developing the judgment to know when to trust AI output and when to challenge it.
