You are passionate about software quality, repeatability, testability and maintainability. When you need clarity, you go to the product owner, perhaps a user, and talk to them until you get it right. You understand the challenges associated with operating a large-scale system in production, and your designs and implementations reflect that understanding.
When you're wrong, you're happy to learn something. You build software quickly, but properly (so that you don't have to go back to it later). You know what “unit tests” are and don't implement software without them. Shipping on time with high quality makes your heart feel warm. You think CD (Continuous Delivery) is not something you will worry about later.
