- Drive: When you commit to a project, you are constantly seeking opportunities to make it successful. Other people on the project rally around your focus. You become the domain expert and are perpetually seeking ways to hone your craft.
- Familiarity with authentication, authorization, IAM (identity and access management) etc.
