Congrats on the full year booking!
I label myself as a "Python Developer" and have no high-level expertise over any specific domain of programming.
This experience doesn't translate well to organizational software engineering where there is structure and hierarchy. I like solving problems programmatically period. Organizations want people to solve very specific problems very specifically. I wasn't able to be that person. That made freelancing and doing contract work the only option for me.
However, I just don't enjoy contract work. There are just too many unpredictable variables and not all clients are the same. So, I am very lucky have my full-time job.
I have a solid grasp on our product and am familiar with the programming side. I try my best to be the first person to answer any business side queries about our product. Our startup-esque nature enables me to have this freedom and excitement. But I do recognize the fact that, this behavior can be a bit distracting sometimes.
