    Technology Professionals: What is your specialty?

    I thought it would be fun to have a thread discussing our past and current professional specialties. Lots of us are in the technology field, so what do you all do?

    I'll start. In the past, I have worked professionally as:
    - Desktop Support
    - Systems Administration (HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, FreeBSD)
    - Software Engineering (C/C++/Java)

    Currently, I am responsible for:
    - Software Quality Assurance
    - IT Compliance (SOX, PCI)
    - Information Security

    Trying to wrap all of those under one title and umbrella, but the QA bit is a third wheel and doesn't seem to blend with the other two.

    Your turn.
    Do not give in to evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.

      The bullets with my name on it I'm not worried about, it's the "To whom it may concern" ones I'm worried about.

              Heavy emphasis on data links, to include:
              Link 16 Systems and JRE (Joint Range Extension, not java)
              The whole gambit of Common Operational Picture software.
              VMF
              and I picked up on radio communications.

                Short Version: I get this **** Done.

                Common Words Heard: 'You know how to do that!?'
                Common Answers: 'Not before today I didn't'

                Schooling: Computer Systems Engineer, yeah I started out in life designing and testing those mainboards. What mainboards? ALL OF THEM! From embedded process control boards to Compact PCI and Passive Backplane systems.

                ...but their exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.

                        I service and install GPS auto pilot steering systems onto Agricultural Equipment.
                        And GPS signaled/air operated clutches on crop planters.
                        Does that count?
