all-arounder
Jack of trades
An all-arounder is someone competent across multiple areas rather than specialized in one.
The term appears most often in sports—a cricketer who both bats and bowls well, or a gymnast who competes in every apparatus: She's a true all-arounder, strong on vault and beam alike.
Outside athletics, it describes versatile people or things: We need an all-arounder who can handle sales, support, and a bit of coding.
