    EP13 What Does an Architect Really Do? – With Andrea Magnorsky

    Ben Yu's post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-7364600519278985216-TzB2 Event Storming Workshop : https://www.meetup.com/tech-leaders-collective/events/310777782/ Andrea Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/magnorsky/ Welcome to The Solution Architect Show! In this episode, host Ben Yu welcomes the show’s first guest, Andrea Magnorsky, a seasoned software architect with experience across startups, large enterprises, and her own company. Together, they explore the diverse realities of architecture roles across industries and share insights into how architecture integrates with engineering, decision-making, and business strategy.🔍 Key Topics Covered: Defining Architecture Through Decisions Andrea shares how architecture is essentially a layered record of decisions that shape systems over time. Her journey into architecture began organically through engineering, eventually being recognized by peers as an architect.Software vs. Corporate Architecture Roles Ben and Andrea compare their experiences—Andrea from software-centric companies and Ben from corporate environments like local government. They highlight how architecture roles vary drastically depending on whether software is the core product or a supporting tool.Feedback Loops & Collaboration Andrea discusses the importance of tight feedback loops between architects and engineering teams, contrasting it with the “ivory tower” model where architects work in isolation. Ben reflects on how corporate architects often focus on governance, compliance, and vendor management rather than code-level decisions.Understanding Context & Expectations Ben emphasizes the need to clarify expectations tied to architectural titles, even after years in the profession. He shares how networking and internal conversations help define the value architects bring to their organizations.Building Community & Sharing Experiences The lack of dedicated communities for architects inspired Ben to start this podcast. Andrea announces a free Event Storming Workshop in New Zealand on September 17 and invites listeners to join the Virtual Domain-Driven Design community.Advice for Aspiring Architects Andrea encourages newcomers to make their architectural thinking explicit—document decisions, understand trade-offs, and engage with adjacent teams. Ben adds that understanding what architecture means in a specific company context is crucial, as titles and responsibilities vary widely.AI’s Impact on Architecture Andrea shares her observations on how AI is reshaping development processes. She advises architects to experiment cautiously, stay informed, and evaluate AI tools through the lens of governance, compliance, and business alignment.🎧 Final ThoughtsBen wraps up the episode by inviting solution and software architects to join the show and share their journeys. The goal: build a stronger community and help others understand the evolving nature of architecture roles.

    Technology changes fast and leadership changes lives-- Why you should become a solution architect

    Ben Yu at Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ybbest/ 💡 Technology Changes Fast. Leadership Changes Lives.I just wrapped up the NZ CIO Conference and Emerging Leadership Forum, and one quote from a mentor really stuck with me:"Technology changes fast. Leadership changes lives."This is exactly why I believe technical professionals should consider the path of Solution Architecture. It’s not just about coding—it's about technical leadership.You can’t build a career on shifting sands. While tech skills evolve daily, leadership, communication, and trust-building are timeless. These are the foundations of a sustainable career.If you're planning your personal development this year, don’t just chase the next AI protocol—invest in leadership courses, seek roles that let you influence without authority, and consider Solution Architecture as your next step. It’s the perfect blend of tech depth and strategic impact.🎙️ I’ll be diving deeper into this on the Solution Architect Show. Let’s talk about how to grow beyond code.🔗 Solution Architect Show Podcast#SolutionArchitecture #TechnicalLeadership #DigitalTransformation #LeadershipDevelopment #CareerGrowth #SoftSkillsMatter #TechLeadership #NZTech #CIOConference #SolutionArchitectShow #ArchitectureMatters #LeadWithImpact
