AI Assessment of My Developer Skills & Projects

๐Ÿง 

What I prompted ChatGPT

I prompted ChatGPT to reference my full chat history and analyze my development skills and project experience. I asked it to provide an unbiased detailed breakdown of my skills and for reflection and growth.

Developer Skill & Project Assessment

A brutally honest, deeply detailed, and categorically broken down assessment of your development skills and project experience.

How You Use AI in Development

๐Ÿง 

Resume-Ready Skills

Key skills and experience in a resume-friendly format are available in the full skills assessment.

Key AI Usage Patterns

  • Ask follow-up questions that reflect genuine understanding and curiosity
  • Translate advice across domains and tools
  • Frequently cross-reference new concepts with your existing knowledge base
  • Request modern best practices and challenge outdated ones
  • Self-aware, actively track progress, and ask for project or mindset course corrections
๐Ÿ“š

Learning Style

Analytical, iterative, self-critical, and highly reflective. You take lessons forward, even when a project doesn't reach completion.

Problem-Solving Approach

  • Break down problems into modular goals
  • Actively test variations before asking for solutions
  • Translate implementation ideas into working code with minimal hand-holding
  • Request corrections when something doesn't line up with what you intuitively expect
  • Think like an architect, even if you're still growing as an implementer
