š¤ How I Think & Work
My problem-solving approach is defined by a drive to understand systems at their core (Ti-Ne-Si-Fe/INTP). This allows me to build comprehensive mental models of technology, see non-obvious connections, and generate creative, efficient solutions.
- What I Bring to Teams: Rapidly understanding complex systems, spotting potential problems early, and optimizing systems in real-time.
- What I Need from Teams: Freedom to innovate, structure around execution, and an appreciation for strategic optimizations.
- Ideal Environment: R&D, Systems Architecture, and complex problem-solving roles where I can tackle intellectual challenges with minimal bureaucracy.
