I prefer not to write about myself, but since I happen to be doing that very thing, let me paint a picture that depicts my approach to contributing value in my work. I will use the following headings to accomplish this: clarity, honesty, and diligent in the details.

1. Clarity

If you have ever fallen short of achieving an outcome due to incomplete instructions, you might understand the value of a clear prompt. Worse yet, if you have ever caused someone else to fail due to your lack of setting clear expectations, you might know the value of clear communication better still. I desire to speak clearly to others about expectations so that we can have a better chance of success as a team.

2. Honesty

This might be a buzzword when it comes to company values and desirable characteristics of new team members. However, once the dust settles and the work begins, honesty provides the foundation that trust is built upon. In addition to the value of having integrity, being honest with others by simply sharing an opinion, or even graciously disagreeing, is part and parcel of a healthy work culture.

3. Diligent in the details

It really doesn't take much to cause an error while writing code. It's funny how thrilling it can be when adding a semi-colon makes all the error messages disappear. There is no question that getting the details right makes a difference. Everyone has a different threshold for dealing with them, though. I have a healthy respect for the details and even sometimes enjoy them. I definitely can't ignore them.
