I can design, architect and build scalable, performant and maintainable systems. I've been doing so for over 15 years. In a professional setting, I might be "the guy" you go to with the problems nobody else can solve.

Put me in a room with a couple of people, a not-real-world problem, a compressed timeframe and tell me to go, and it's a different story. After that time is up, you'll swear I don't know the first thing about technology and go to the next guy.

Why is this? Interviewing psyches people out sometimes. In my case, the act of being judged by my peers gets me to the point where I actually do blank out.
