My strongest points are the ability to understand new material and new situations
quickly and think on my feet, to learn from and teach other members of a team, and
to improve and polish existing concepts, code, and user interfaces. My specific
knowledge of computer systems, software frameworks, computer languages, and the
like is vast. I do not have a single specialty as a programmer or leader, but
consider myself a generalist.
