And presumably Q worked in Q-branch before becoming Q, so obviously he wasn't in a prominent enough position for Bond to recognize him as an employee. So, what was he doing?
I've wondered about this myself. With my limited knowledge of the James Bond world, I'm wondering if perhaps Q branch got revamped all together as a department. Or perhaps two divisions got merged.
Q Department before Craig!Bond was much more oriented around gadgets but now seems more focused on technology overall with an emphasis on cyber warfare. It could be that Q became Quartermaster after the department got overhauled and before he was working in a much more behind the scenes department that focused on analyzing and hacking into enemy systems with little contact with MI6 field agents.
