Personal Qualities

I build things and figure out how they work. CAD, circuits, code, whatever the project needs.
Comfortable presenting to judges, writing specs, or explaining what I built to someone who wasn't in the room.
Good at keeping things moving on my own, and better when the team is bought in.
I pick up new tools fast because I'm usually building something that requires them.
