Looking for someone who aims to maximize their learning rate and is not afraid to solve hard problems. You should be self‑aware about your strengths and weaknesses, and able to adapt your skills to problems you haven’t seen before.

You are an AI power user, not a vibe coder: you routinely use tools like Copilot/Claude/Cursor to design systems, debug, and ship production‑quality code faster, not to avoid thinking. You can read and reason about unfamiliar codebases, design clean APIs, and own features end‑to‑end from spec to deployment.

You’re comfortable with hardware and low‑level details: you can build PCs from parts, diagnose hardware issues, and live in the terminal on Linux/macOS for debugging, automation, and devops‑ish tasks.

You care about efficiency: you write code that is fast and robust, think about performance and failure modes up front, and are willing to profile, benchmark, and refactor to keep systems reliable as they scale.
