• Designed systems with USB and ethernet interfaces
• Good understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals
• Keeps “import *” for specific cases
• Despises all OSes equally but insists on cross‑platform feature parity
• Recognizes the not‑invented‑here syndrome and has been previously inoculated against it
• Understands AI tools and workflows, understanding the output may be like 10 interns reporting to you
