    I write code specializing mainly in Real Estate Marketing materials. Generally speaking, I would say I'm a Database Publishing Architect. I also go to school for Art History and already have a degree in Design and another in Printing technology.

    IT Engineer... a fancy title for a Peon.

    I work for St. Paul Travelers doing work on servers, switches (routers) and printers on the network. I support the TSC (Technolgoy Service Center) answering their question if they are stuck and can't figure out how to turn on a monitor or get on the net heheh.

    Doing research and to solve problems that may cause down time for multiple line of business.

    You can say I work on the network architect side of things...

    I'm mostly do DVD mastering/authoring. I can do the burns here or send them off to be pressed if the need is there. I try not to do too much editing of the feature but I do motion menus and stuff for the DVDs so I have to dabble in Premiere and AfterEffects quite often. Ideally I'd like to team up with an event videographer to do the filming, hook up with me for editing the feature, then task the mastering off to me. If you know of any even videographers complaining about how tough it is to work on their video on their PC send them my way. That way they can afford better camera equipment and not drop $3000 on a PC like I do ;)

    I am the Division Technology Manager for a video game publisher (Activision) we make the spiderman, Cabela's hunting, Monster Garage games and many more. Before this I worked at Sony in California, in the production of the Gran Turismo series of games. Work is easy when work is fun. I'm hiring if there are any video game geeks out there.

    Now, that's what I'm talking about... having a pool of intelligent network like this helping each other out in any way that they can. Man, I'm going to cry, you guys are so close.

    Yes, I would be interested in a job working for a game company... do you have any Technology position open relating to servers and network? Sad part is, I'm not a programmer so anything to do with network and server... I'm all yours.

    If you need any video game geeks... count me as one but, that all depends on what you're looking for as far as qualification goes.
