I fix stuff. What don't need fixing, I improve. If running smoothly, I make it so it can run longer. I translate mundane to tech, and vice versa, in French and English.
I fell in a bin of computer parts 30 years ago. I built my first PC a bit after that, then made it run, then faster, better, stronger... Since it wasn't a respectable job, I learned business in France and in England, and right then (circa 2000) things changed.
Selling fridges to Inuits wasn't for me, so I started doing computer stuff as a job, and lo and behold, I wasn't half-bad at it - creating the whole IT of my first boss, from user PCs and laptops, wifi, servers, backup, web, document management to connecting with the banks and dematerializing customer files. That impressed someone else quite a loss, so I went to work for a web studio that wanted to migrate from table-based web design with Flash headers to responsive Flash-less... And I did.
That was fun, but didn't last, so I went to maintain a big company's preorder system, fixing such esoteric bugs that had left several people completely bewildered for months - I must have done the job, because a 6-months mission turned into almost 4 years and went from Level 2 user support to tech evangelist.
As of now, I maintain the IT system of one of he most innovative companies in the world - and since it's running smoothly, I'm available !
