Hi. I’m Gulli. I work in marketing.
Yes, I work in marketing now.
I’ve been a techie since before I can remember.
- I wrote a program for drawing on the TV screen with a joystick, on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum when I was 10.
- For the past four-and-a-half years (and for three of the four summers before that) I’ve been working full-time as a programmer (or software engineer, when I want to sound fancy, although engines are rarely involved).
- I have an MS in electrical engineering.
- I read dozens of software development blogs.
- I write software for fun in my spare time.
- I run a webserver for myself and several friends.
- On my home computer I use Gentoo linux, not Windows.
- I read Dilbert, chuckling in a particularly gleeful oh-how-deliciously-superior-I-am way whenever marketing stereotypes are featured.
- I’m sitting at home blogging at 6pm on Dec 23, when I should be in a panic-stricken shopping spree in a mall somewhere.
But I took a job at the web department of a bank in the beginning of this year. And today this web department was merged into the marketing department.
To my loyal readers: happy holidays, both of you. If you need me, I’ll be over here in the Identity Crisis Counselling corner, working on this.
