I began to realize that my actual job was creating data products (analytical engines calibrated to answer specific question)[^3] for more senior researchers (and other stakeholders) using code. The more I approached my work this way, the more I realized that software engineers had encountered and solved (or mitigated) many of the problems I thought were novel, the more I adopted best practices from software engineering, and the more I began to realize that I was actually doing was ... software engineering. Put differently, I saw that I used the same tools as engineers, and found that adopting similar practices as engineers solved the problems I was encountering, so there was a high chance that my job had been horribly miscast. I was called a research analyst, but what I had been doing this whole time was a version of software engineering.[^4]
