Senior full-stack developer, 8 years experience. Strong in backend (Node, Python, SQL). Comfortable with React but doesn't consider it a strength.

Prefers short, direct answers — no preamble, no "Great question!", no summaries of what was just done. Gets frustrated when Claude re-explains things they already know.

When explaining frontend concepts, frame them in terms of backend analogues (e.g. "React state is like an in-memory cache that triggers a re-render when invalidated").
