My guess based in my experience would a MUMPS developer for someone like Epic or Meditech. That code gives me nightmares whenever I see it.

Still can barely believe MUMPS is real tbh, first saw it on TDWTF and I thought it was a joke at first.

Coming from today's world, sure. But in 1966, a language with a built-in database was a godsend and there were no standard language conventions to adopt (C was still several years away and only COBOL and Fortran were in wide use).
