    I usually say “I’m a computer toucher” or “computer programmer” if I don’t want to talk about what I do. If I want to flex some nerd cred, and/or boast a little, I’ll usually say “I work with machine automation” or “robotics”. It tends to get a more curious response and I can talk about some of the weird stuff I’ve helped make.

      My parents say I “do computers” and that’s good enough for me.

        My wife says either I’m in IT or I work with computers.
        I just say problem solver.
