Technical Architect: a career path for some developers
Justine Lejeune
As developers, we may come to a certain point in our career when we are asking ourselves what are the possibilities to grow in a company.
When working in an Agile environment every day, we realise that web development naturally divides in 2 things: the code and the people.
Businesses and teams are valued by developers who can deliver code and communicate to other humans (technical and non-technical).
If you are like me, and realise that you care and value people as much as you value the code that you are writing, if you want to add more value across your company, and if you want to help the others around you, you may want to hear about the Technical Architect role.
In this presentation, I will share the information I collected throughout my research about the Technical Architect role, the responsibilities, the core values, the soft skills... And I will try to give ourselves a better idea of the role and what it takes to grow in that direction when you are a developer.

Salut! My name is Justine, I'm a Belgian Web Developer who's been working with Drupal for 5 years. I moved to Toronto 2 years ago and I'm currently working at Therefore Interactive as a Drupal Developer. I love hanging out at DrupalTO Meetups, attending some interesting talks and chatting over a drink after. I also enjoy a lot taking part in the Drupal Sprints Weekends. I attended the Drupal North 2017 and my very first DrupalCon in Nashville in 2018. I'm constantly meeting a lot of incredible people. I totally love being a part of this community and that's why I'd like to give back a little bit myself too. Come and talk to me about Drupal, travels, cute cats, waffles, chocolate, series...
