You’ve seen a few generations of JS frameworks and patterns come and go while working on a variety of web applications and can discuss in some detail what worked and why.

You’ve studied some software engineering and are orientated towards doing things with a structured engineering approach. While you welcome the technical freedom of greenfield developments you also enjoy the intricacies inherent in evolving existing software.
