IT Architect
- Designed target-state architecture and roadmap for migrating on-prem applications to AWS for a financial services client, coordinating discovery sessions across teams and improving overall reliability.
- Defined integration patterns (REST APIs, event-driven messaging) for a microservices platform and supported delivery teams through design reviews and solution documentation.
- Implemented identity and access management improvements using Azure AD SSO and role-based access, strengthening security posture and streamlining user access.
- Created reference architectures, standards, and diagrams (TOGAF-aligned) and mentored junior architects on best practices across cloud, data, and integration.
- Led vendor evaluation and RFP process for an ERP modernization program, partnering with procurement and stakeholders to select a platform and keep the project on schedule.
Overview
- Add scope and measurable outcomes (apps, users, cost, latency, incidents) to make impact credible.
- Tighten technical specificity (which services/tools, patterns, and constraints) to show architectural depth.
- Clarify your role vs. the broader team and what artifacts you produced (roadmaps, ADRs, reference architectures).
Suggestions
Rewrite to quantify scope and outcomes and name the AWS services/patterns used. Example: "Designed target-state architecture and 18-month roadmap to migrate 27 apps from VMware to AWS (EKS, RDS, S3, Transit Gateway); cut monthly infra cost 12% and reduced Sev-1 incidents from 6/qtr to 2/qtr."
The current bullet sounds strong but reads like a project summary; adding scale, services, and results proves you operated at architect level and lets reviewers gauge complexity.

Specify the messaging platform and the integration standards you set (API gateway, schemas, versioning, SLOs) and include at least one measurable improvement. Example: "Defined REST and Kafka event standards (OpenAPI, schema registry, versioning) and led architecture reviews for 8 microservices; improved P95 response time 30% and reduced integration defects by 20%."
"REST" and "event-driven" are generic; naming concrete standards and outcomes demonstrates you shaped the system, not just participated in reviews.

Defined integration patterns (REST APIs, event-driven messaging) for a microservices platform and supported delivery teams through design reviews and solution documentation.
Call out the security controls and compliance requirements addressed, plus the scale of the rollout. Example: "Implemented Azure AD SSO with Conditional Access, MFA, and RBAC for 1,200 users; supported SOC2 controls and reduced account provisioning time from days to hours."
"Strengthening security posture" is hard to validate; architects are expected to connect IAM changes to specific controls, risk reduction, and operational improvements.

Replace tool/buzzword stacking with concrete artifacts and governance mechanisms. Example: "Produced 6 reference architectures and 20 ADR templates; established architecture review board and exception process; increased standards adoption from ~40% to 75% across 4 product teams."
Listing "TOGAF-aligned" and broad domains (cloud, data, integration) can read as generic. Naming artifacts and adoption metrics shows real governance impact.

Created reference architectures, standards, and diagrams (TOGAF-aligned) and mentored junior architects on best practices across cloud, data, and integration.
Add program size and what you influenced (requirements, scoring model, total cost) and the decision outcome. Example: "Led ERP RFP for $4.2M modernization; built weighted scorecard (fit/gap, security, TCO), ran vendor workshops, and selected Workday; kept selection phase on schedule (10 weeks) and under budget."
Vendor selection is valuable architect work, but without budget/timeline/deliverables it is hard to assess seniority and impact.
