Product Mindset: You start with the user and the business problem, not the solution. You understand what the end user is trying to accomplish, why it matters, and how success is measured before writing a line of code.

Pragmatic Approach: You value simple, durable solutions over clever ones. You know when to invest in long-term architecture and when to optimize for speed and learning.

Bias toward Action: You don't wait for perfect requirements or complete clarity. You break complex problems into smaller steps, ship incrementally, learn from real usage, and adjust quickly.
