Hi, I am a software engineer, I develop software.
That'd nice! What's software engineering all about?
Software engineering
Software engineering is the application of engineering to the development of software in a systematic method.
Notable definitions of software engineering include: 
- "the systematic application of scientific and technological knowledge, methods, and experience to the design, implementation, testing, and documentation of software"—The Bureau of Labor Statistics—IEEE "Systems and software engineering - Vocabulary"
- "The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software"—IEEE "Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology
tracking of changes in a configuration management system or revision control system is part of the domain of the release engineer. The responsibility for creating and applying a version numbering scheme into software—and tracking that number back to the specific source files to which it applies—often falls onto the release engineer. Producing or improving automation in software production is usually a goal of the release engineer. Gathering, tracking, and supplying all the tools that are required to develop and build a particular piece of software may be a release engineering task
