This question is for all the developer brothers, and sisters in here. What is your current designation, what do you like/dislike about it? Where do you want to head in
Currently, I am a software engineer (B.Eng.) at Bosch CI. I do full stack web development, C# and ASPX applications. Also I am the global coordinator for handheld scanners for Automotive Steering (which is a responsibility I received due to its history here). Because of circumstances, I will get new tasks in a completely different department, soon, mainly surrounding web development and IoT, which I will likely stick with for a while (don't know for how long).
I want to shift my focus, however, to consulting and project management with a bit of prototyping latest tech. That's what I am working towards at the moment by learning management techniques and building up experience. My target department will help me with my ambitions.
I'm a freelance Software Developer, mostly doing web development, with some consulting on infrastructure here and there.
In two or three years I see myself as a freelance Software Developer, mostly doing web development, with some consulting on infrastructure here and there. I might or might not be studying for a doctorate by then, though, I'm considering it.
In other words, I'm already doing what I like doing: writing code and playing with operations a bit.
I am currently CTO and co-founder of Mint Services. I am responsible for day-to-day operations of our hosting services as we support many businesses in my country.
Along with that, I lead my tech team and like to do programming myself. I actually never decided which I like more - being ops or developer, so I spent a huge amount of time and energy to improve my knowledge and skills in both worlds.
I had a chance to do many things - plan and implement a huge, functional cloud infrastructure based on OpenStack, lead developers or be a part of a team on mid to large scale projects, rescue some poorly executed business plans and fix some insanely bad code... I did a lot in the last 6 years.
Today, I can say for myself that I am a full-stack web developer, coming from PHP backend world and leaning slowly toward more complex JavaScript madness. I actually never liked JavaScript but as I am growing older I somehow started to like it. So, these days I am trying to improve my knowledge of JavaScript as much as I can.
In 2-3 years - who knows, I am thinking about starting a new company and move toward some other projects. I am never certain about technologies, because they come and go and I look at them as tools - a project is just a screw which requires a proper tool.

Web Developer & curious mind
Currentyl I work in Clicktronmedia, developing Addiliate, we use Phalcon and AngularJS are we are planning to move into Google Cloud Platform with the help of ACKStorm.
In 2-3 years maybe I still in the same company if they provide all the things I want to improve my skills, and be a better developer or maybe I try to found my own company/startup to implement the tech stack i want, probably with a friend if all goes well.
My final goal it's to become a CTO or a team leader that manage people and manage different projects, and maybe a scrum master if all goes well :)
