"Automation monkey" - can't call yourself an engineer without a license, after
all. ;(

For everything you automate, estimate the savings on a daily, weekly, monthly
and annual basis to the company. After all, some human used to manually do those
things, right?
Keep track of that stuff for your annual salary re-negotiation.
It is also helpful on the "Business Impact" section of your resume.
