Who thrives here
You notice when a lyric timestamp is off by half a second. You follow K-pop charts not because you have to, but because you genuinely can't help it. You bring a point of view to quality and actively look for ways to make processes work better. You're organized enough to hit deadlines on your own, and collaborative enough to elevate the whole team.
