Gary Bell

Currently "Senior Developer", but I cover all things IT. I'm actually the lead developer and technical architect of all development within my company. I'm a mentor and manager to two other developers, and I manage the IT support engineer - so I wear the "IT manager" hat, too. Oh, and let's not forget all of the DevOps stuff I do (and am still looking into and learning)

I also advise the directors on most things technical, and provide guidance where possible. I've also been involved in networking the office and various procurement of equipment during that office move.

I'm essentially CTO in all but name, and that's where I would like to get to. CTO or Technical Director. I do, however, worry that it would take me away from some of the coding I occasionally get to do. I'm too busy getting things inline for others to develop, and planning the infrastructure for our current project.
