So a while ago I worked on a mobile game where I was the only programmer/developer. I'm confused as to how to name my position - officially, my title was "Lead mobile games developer", since the company had plans for further expansion in this field once their first mobile game becomes successful.



Well, it didn't, and I left before any expansion happened, and now I feel that this title doesn't really suit my experience there, since I didn't "lead" anyone, I was the only programmer. In game-dev slang I would be called a "one man army" but I'm not sure this will look good on a resume I want to send to companies unrelated to game development. I want to stress the fact that I did virtually all of the programming of this app.



What title should I put on my resume? I was thinking of sticking with the "lead" one and adding a footnote that I was actually the only programmer on this project but I'm not sure how that will look. Thanks for any advice.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
