Being an architect in an IT environment comes with a unique set challenges and opportunities. There are multiple types of architects in organizations and my goal with this site is both meant as knowledge sharing and knowledge cataloging. This site will help you understand what each type of architect is, how they are alike and different, and then finally how you can prepare yourself to become the type(s) of your choosing.
I have been in the IT industry for over 20 years and enjoyed working as an intern, a developer, a software engineer, senior software engineer, product owner, software architect, and solutions architect. As an architect I’ve served a member of the enterprise architecture board. I’ve received multiple certifications related to software development, cloud infrastructure administration, solutions architecture, and enterprise architecture.
My hope in mentioning the above is that you the curious reader will know that i have seen the industry from many directions and that the information that offer comes from hard earned experience – not just theory – but certainly with plenty of theory included!
If you’re looking to start your journey towards becoming an architect, no matter your current experience and knowledge level, this site will help you on your path. Best of luck!
