Heh... When people ask me my title, I usually answer "I don't really know". This is actually the truth: I work for a consulting company and our internal titles (I think mine is "Senior Principal Consultant", but I'd have to look at our org-chart) can vary markedly from the titles we assume when working for a given client or partner.
Ultimately, I tend to refer to myself as variants "IT janitor" or "Chaos Wrangler" as I'm a true jack-of-all trades ("what do you need me to be, today"). My corporate Slack profile has me as "Chaos Custodian", my LinkeIn profile has me as "System Wrangler" and I've used other variants on other sites.
And, to be honest: 1) as long as I'm getting paid for what I bring to the table, titles mean little to me – and far less to me than the work I'm engaged in means; 2) most titles are pretty generic, vague and/or meaningless (even early in my career, I found myself outperforming people with years more experience and much higher titles, so, "what's in a name?").
