Career Aspiration and Why

Career Aspiration and Why

In ten years I see myself in a role of Information Technology Architect. An Information Technology Architect is the individual responsible for linking computer technology decision making and investments with an organization's tech business strategy.  The individual is responsible for organizing a consensus of decisions on policies, principles, services, standards, guidelines, and common solutions for the betterment of the company or organization. IT Architects are responsible for guiding the process of planning acquiring, building, modifying, and deploying IT resources throughout a given department.

The role of Information Technology Architect is a natural course for me considering my personal qualities and my interest in learning fundamental IT systems. I have ability to get a broad overview of the IT system and think more in terms of the flow of information inside the system, thus helping me to get more deeper learning. I think about IT in a more generalized way and is more interested in overall picture rather than get my mind cluttered in minute details. I never pay attention to the fancy “marketing names” for different IT systems but focus more on the inner workings and system as a whole. Furthermore, I always tend to be a solution provider to people around me. I believe all these attributes and my way of understanding things provide a path that leads to the role defined above. In addition, my education has also assisted me to gain a deeper and better understanding of the IT systems.

I have only three years of experience and have a long path to travel to reach my desired role but during the rest of my journey I would strive to learn more and develop more understanding about the systems. I know I would face many challenges but I believe those hardships would only nurture my learning.
