Surely a unique title ;-)
My previous comments apply to "software engineer" as well.
For years Bill Gates gave his occupation on his tax returns as Programmer.
>To me, "computer engineering" means you design and build computers, no software. I've never really liked software engineer, but had employers give me the title. Guess I have to do that. The title I picked for myself in my company is "Chief Software Gardener"

>>I have never liked the phrase "computer engineering." There is a quantum difference between what we do and what engineers do. That's not saying we're a bunch of lugnuts, or that we cannot take a rigorous approach to our work, but they are very different. My younger daughter, who is an engineering major, was just here for a short visit. She brought a take-home midterm, which coincidentally is for a comp sci class they have to take. Holy moley. To me the questions looked very intimidating and made me grateful I am out of school. It's comp sci with an engineering spin. For instance, they study MaxPad, a language I had never heard of. (That's MaxPad, 6 letters <g>). She said it's designed for engineers and has things like functions which perform linear algebra. It gave me a headache just looking at it.
