Thinking Like an Architect
Remember when software architecture seemed like just boxes and arrows on a whiteboard? In this talk, we'll challenge that view and explore what really matters in modern software design. You will discover how successful architects think beyond tech specs, seeing architecture as a living story shaped by people, teams, and evolving needs. You'll gain fresh perspectives on building systems that last and learn why the best architectures are more about enabling people than enforcing technical decisions. Join me for a journey that might just change how you think about architecture forever.
