My title is "User Interface Engineer". I tell people "I'm a Professional Nerd for (X)".
It shows that I have a sense of humor about my job (a job that to many people is inscrutable).
Many people in our own field don't know the difference between a web designer/developer/programmer/UI/UX/DBA, and I figure that I'll take a crack at whatever needs to get done, so why be limited to a label?
I feel like hacker has too many negative connotations outside our tiny community that 'gets it', especially since I live in DC, which is more traditional about this stuff.
