When I worked with Kovie during our internship, he had already accomplished a lot in the first month. From facilitating and deploying other interns' work projects into production, troubleshooting, UI/UX designing, and simply being an effective communicator, you can say he's a 'Jack of all trades, and a master of a few.'
