I've worked with Charlie at two agencies. I interviewed and recommended him for hire at the first, then assisted in recruiting him to the second. In both agencies, his thirst for keeping up with the latest tech trends and skills, near superhuman ability to learn new things on the fly, and unwavering team spirit is what made him invaluable. He's a developer on paper, but also has a keen design eye for animation timing, grid systems, color, feedback states, and all of the other details that polish a UI experience. More important than any of those skills though, Charlie is a futurist and a visionary. He's the person to be given a task and to come back with multiple ways of accomplishing the task better than expected, as a reflection of his pulse on the rapidly evolving human-computer world. I've helped hire Charlie twice and I'd do it many more times
