    Note that the technologies section is LLM enhanced spam. It did look accurate (perhaps incomplete) to me. The rest is human written.

    What I probably am is a generalist that can handle a project from bringup (if needed), OS customization (if needed) up to the user facing part including talking to the customer about requirements. "Take ownership" is the corporate term?

    I best belong in a small ish organization where I'm not a work item monkey but I have to keep an eye on the big picture and consequences of fixes.

    Have led small (microscopic?) teams.

    I'm also "mature" enough to have seen "legacy" platforms and perhaps maintain them and/or bring them up gradually to the present.

    Contract is fine, part time is fine. Incorporated with VAT code (interesting for EU entities).
