Clear written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical colleagues. The ability to take responsibility for agreed tasks, work within guidance and ask for support when needed. A curious, practical approach to new tools and AI-assisted development, with a willingness to experiment and assess their value through evidence and measurable results.
