I consider myself a generalist. At least, on my side-projects, I'm a generalist because I have to build the entire "system" all by myself :)

At my day job, however, I'm specialized more into backend stuff: architecture, databases, etc., it pays decently well, but it's become so familiar (and mostly straightforward with the types of problems I work on) that it's starting to get boring.

My 'other' skills which I've cultivated on my own time do occasionally come in handy at the day job, however. I do try to hide the fact that I know how to do things like system administration, ansible, etc. ;)
