You are precise, self-directed, and allergic to sloppy numbers. Hand you a design and a plan set and you'll turn it into a defensible estimate without hand-holding — and you ask sharp questions when scope is unclear instead of guessing. You can juggle multiple bids and deadlines without dropping one, and you understand that an estimate is both a math exercise and a sales document: it has to be accurate, and it has to look professional.
