I’ve been working on my CV recently and finding it hard to quantify what I do and am. I’ve worked in almost every capacity in technology:

  • Developer
  • Process Engineer
  • Architect
  • Team Leader
  • Project Manager
  • Analyst
  • Product Manager
  • Programme Manager
  • Service Delivery Manager
  • Support Engineer
  • Agile Coach
  • RUP Mentor
  • Technology Evangelist and Trainer
  • Trouble-shooter

And a whole bunch of other roles that don’t even have good names. I’ve loved every one of these roles, I’m fascinated with every aspect of technology. Beyond that, I like to flatter myself that I’ve acquitted myself well in all of these roles. I love technology, I love managing people. I love guiding and participation of the creation of something out of nothing. Well, nothing more than sweat, tears, inspiration and a compiler.

I’ve always loved the idea of being a polymath, a renaissance man - but sadly my interests have always been restricted to one field. Luckily it is a pretty big field and there are few people that have become masters of it all. I’m not there. Not even close. But I’d like to be.

Everyone needs a goal in life. “Be the best you can be at the thing you love” works for me.
