Interested in working involving

I'm looking to solve hard technical problems. That gives me a lot of joy. And I want to learn from my cohort about the different parts of the business they are accountable for.

Not interested in work involving

This is not a deal breaker. But pure management work is something I've never done and I'm apprehensive to take. I love getting my hands dirty.

Other information
I'm a doer. I believe in clarity of thought with respect to planning and always put the customers first and almost obsess about the customer. I believe in always start with the metrics the customers will want to use to make decisions that go back from there.
