I used to be a hard-core, passionate builder/hacker. Would build stuff all the time. Post a PhD and many years of corporate life, I don't build directly myself. I have a team of excellent hackers that work with me (I am a line manager) and unlike other line managers in my company, I co-create, get into the weeds, provide ideas, feedback, intuition and experience.
So what am I? I don't know if builder is the right word. I still see myself as the creator .. I am the one who thought of a brand new idea, I came up with the blocks and I work with my team to do the actual "building".
I am asking because there might be a different word than builder that describes me. I don't know if product designer, architect or leader would be the correct word. Leader seems like the right word but I know great leaders that are super hands off.
