Professional Attributes (Code42)

• Practice Humility: You ask questions even when you think you know the answer. You seek feedback early, learn from anyone regardless of title, and treat every experiment — especially the failures — as data.
• Bias for Outcomes: You measure your work by what changed, not what you tried. You ship results, not slide decks. When a deadline is real, you find a way.
• Care Deeply: You treat every problem as yours to solve. You review your own work with the rigor you'd want from a reviewer. You help teammates without being asked.
• Dare to Do the Impossible & Embrace Scarcity: You set goals that make you uncomfortable. When told something can't be done, you find a way or a better question. Constraints sharpen your thinking, not slow it down.
• Build a Better World: You believe AI should make things meaningfully better for real people. You hold yourself accountable not just for whether your model works, but for what it does in the world.
