Management here wants to re-title my position, since I'm doing quite a bit of different work than was originally planned.

They want my input. After a quick glance over my skill set and job duties, what would we need to describe this position as?

I'll just list things I'm at least proficient in, I will not list things I have a passing knowledge of.

About me :

~10 years software development.

Languages : C, C++, Perl, PHP, C#, TCL, Unix shell scripting, SQL (TSQL, PLSQL)

Systems : MS-Dos, Windows 3.1 to 7 for client, NT 4 to 2008 for server, OS/2, IBM MVS & z/OS, Linux ( multiple distros), AIX

Current position:

I do all sorts of in-house software. The range is single user apps to large systems spanning multiple OS's.

One of the larger projects I've designed and coded is about 100k lines of C#, and a database where I have been the sole designer and maintainer.

I have near total freedom to design as I see fit, restraints are usually budgetary.

Skills required to replace me in my current role:

Windows and Unix admin, Database design, .NET up to 3.5 (C#, ASP.NET), C++, Perl, good skills in designing large and efficient data processing systems.

Given this small level of information what would you see this as being titled? (is more information required to render a decision?)
