WIP .. See this page for stuff...

My budget title, Senior Programmer/Analyst, is horribly generic and non-descript. There are some people who have this same title, and can't program a stitch, nor analyze much of anything- For all intents and purposes, ignore my title. My job here has evolved steadily throughout my tenure. Currently I'm responsible for approximately 250 services running on around 200 systems. Thankfully, I have a couple of energetic and hard-working guys to share some of that with.
