I wouldn't call my a systems administrator - BUT... I had to do a great deal of the IT work to get things started, long before I was able to afford actual employees. I've kept up with it as a hobby. I have several VPSes spun up right now, a dedicated server that's in someone else's data center, and a server that I maintain for a business I have financial interest in. I'm KGIII on sites like Slashdot and HN. I can do the job well enough to maintain my own local network. I have my own server software that I use to manage a gateway for people who visit and to do my own tasks. Things like that. I have my own NAS that I rolled myself, things of that nature. So, I'm not a sysadmin but I've done quite a bit of the work. I play around with some security as well. I can program, but I'd not want to run my code in a professional environment and I'm horribly out of practice. I do a bit of PHP and that's just scripting. I'm still fairly fluent in Perl. Bash, and I kind of picked up a bit of Python along the way. I've even coded in BASIC and COBOL! I'm old! I've done lots of stuff!
