Having a job title that is relatively new and traditionally linked with a different trade adds to the confusion but I have for years faced people not quite understanding what it is that I actually do for living. My current title of Technology Architect never fails to get the questions:
- So you are an architect. Which big building have you worked on?
- You write a program? Does it have anything to do with buildings?
- You do something with websites? Can you make me a banner?
- You don’t write a program.. What do you do again?
But then again.. I never really successfully explained what I do to my own wife, I guess I shouldn’t expect much more..

Are you like Jonathan Ives, and you get to design gadgets?
Or you use technology (like computers) to make buildings?
Or you’re like Al Gore (haha) inventing the next Internet?
So … you have a chance here, but still never explained to everyone what a Technology Architect does!

Yeah.. well.. Let’s say I had my hand in the latest re-launch of Nintendo’s website. I’m sure I will write more about my exact duties and skill set later.
