People always wonder what it is we do. When I say we I mean
those of us, when asked what you do for a living we answer I’m in I.T. The reason most say this answer is because it’s
easier than explaining exactly what it is we do. Part of the problem is titles. Titles in I.T.
is a fluid art form based on the company you are at, the industry you’re in,
and if your HR rep has figured out a way to pay you less based on a different
title. Right now I am labeled as a “Senior
System Engineer” when talking to others or looking at job posts I know that I
have to look at “Senior System Admin, Senior Network Admin, System Architect” these
are just a few of the titles my position can be referred to. We all do the same thing, So back to what it is I do; I do everything in
I.T. meaning I have had to do networking (switches, routers, vpn, load
balancers…), System admin (windows, linux, unix, aix, sun), Data Center
migration, architect and mobile technology. Software development, write code,
white hat. I could continue but I believe this is what most people in my
position also have experience in. I
doubt many people will have a use for what I write in my blogs. I do not plan on making my blogs just I.T.
related. It will be Politics, Sports, Religion and I.T. all things that normally
can cause people some type of reaction.
If you don’t like it stop reading that’s easy. Disclaimer: My thoughts posted on this blog
are not the views expressed by my employer and all that good stuff.
