After more than 20 years of customer-facing analysis, project design and development I am very comfortable with requirements gathering, document creation and small team management.
I have some exposure to Agile methodology, have worked both remotely and cross-border and in teams of all different sizes.
I am familiar with Node.js, jQuery, Bootstrap, Handlebars, Ajax, Mongo and have limited exposure to AWS and Docker.
I am familiar with Basic, ABAP, RPG, Synon, Javascript, SQL, noSQL and Data Warehousing.
Outside of work, my children try to educate me in the "correct" way to do maths and how to work, from home, in a connected future. I think I am beginning to pick it up!

Summary
Although I have spent much of my career in Tiger Teams (Rapid Solutions), I have also been part of some extremely large multinational projects. I have resisted all attempts, so far, to be less hands on and am spending my free time doing hundreds of hours of Training in preparation for the next challenge that presents itself.
