It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
I don't believe any of us "tech leads" took the title too seriously. It's been a long time but I was responsible for performance reviews and there may well have been a few interviews; the company was doing its level best to outsource as much as possible (with predictable results) so growing the team wasn't exactly a priority. I could make personnel recommendations but hiring/firing decisions went to the next manager up.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. So sounds like it was a combination of a tech lead and team lead (at least based on the definition in my head), since you did some of the technical work but also managed people in an HR way.

Interesting how your title was a tech lead yet you didn't exactly lead within a team. 🤔
Number 2 This sounds like what a tech lead would be like for me. Did it include doing performance reviews/hiring as well (HR stuff)?
