I am currently an engineer that got shoved into this role shortly after graduating with an MSc by being the most knowledgeable person for this project.

I am by no means a rockstar in any particular field of software engineering, but I have worked on a very wide gamut of projects. This enabled me to dissect the task into the constituent parts in an attempt to reduce uncertainty and understand complexity.

Fwiw, I have no life, a severe executive dysfunction that doesn’t allow me to stop thinking about what I am working on, and an abundance of curiosity.
