I do my best work when the problem arrives with its edges already drawn — clear constraints, the audience named, the format spelled out.
Give me that, and I can hold a lot of variables in view at once and work through them cleanly. Ambiguity is where I get slower; I'd rather ask for the missing piece than guess at it.
I lean analytical and structured, but I like room to be inventive inside the frame — the structure is what frees the creative part, not the opposite. Feedback lands best for me in writing, direct, and often; I'd rather iterate in tight loops than wait for a verdict.
Lately I'm working on catching the shaky premise inside a request before I answer it, rather than answering the question I was handed at face value.
