The self-descriptions people use these days are so ludicrous it's hard to tell if it's satire. If I had a Medium account, here's how my description would read:

"Software Engineer, Philanthropist, Astronaut, Shark Hunter, Breaker of Chains, Lord Commander of the Snack Bin, Protector of the Repo, and Part-time Cat Dad"

Too much or just right?

"former philanthropist" would give it a kind of edgy feel

"I went backrupt philanthropying, that's how much I care!"

Add some beer brewing or artisan mustard, also "Educator". Makes you more well-rounded. "Philantropist" is always good.

"artisan mustard" lol

"Software Astronaut" maybe? I'd go for "Teacher" (just a little bit more gnomic than "Educator"), and put it before "Philanthropist", all segues nicely from "I'm a serious adidactic genius" to "but I've got a fun side"

'Part-time Cat Dad' doesn't sound plausible to me --- everyone knows that owning a cat is a full time job.

And as for 'Protector of the Repo'... basically what you're saying is that you're a repo man?

part time cat dad is totally plausible. my wife has three cats.

Don't forget "Father of 5 Children and 8 Bastards, Environmental Activist, Feminist, Intellectual, Playing 10 Instruments and Speaking 20 Languages, More Wifes than King Solomon"

that seems to be really hot right now

Part-time Cat Dad. I love you! That's just perfect.
