I am proficient in: Photoshop, Illustrator, Expression Blend, Sencha, HTML/CSS/Java, WPF, ExtJS.

I possess: Taste, attention to detail and aesthetics, an understanding of human factors as they relate to computer interaction.

What does that make me? :)

HTML/CSS/Java <-- the lumping together of these three is either wrong (you meant Javascript) or bizarre, too.

I was referring to javascript, I think in that regard it would fit the others as front-end development.

Portfolio or it didn't happen.

Webmonkey.

I recently made the jump from doing freelance web development work with most of my clients coming from craigslist to being the Director of User Experience at a software startup developing algorithmic trading software and doing UI/UX consulting for another company.

Right now I am working in C#/WPF for one company and Sencha (ExtJS) for the other.

Big-headed?

Sorry if I came off that way. I am confident in my abilities to create awesome interfaces but I still have a lot to learn and a lot of time/practice to put in. My original comment was meant to be from the viewpoint of a "desingineer".

I know the article is probably referring to someone who is equally talented in development as they are design, able to create the backend along with the frontend, but I feel that being able to implement my designs in Windows Presentation Foundation, ExtJS, JQueryUI, Wordpress, etc make me a desingineer as well.
