Am I an architect? That of course depends on how you define it. Martin Fowler says architecture is stuff that's hard to change later, and there should be as little of that as possible. (Sounds almost like assigning blame...) Russ Ackoff on the other hand, means that the architect is the person that best understands that the whole is more than the sum of it's parts. With either of those definitions, I have been the architect in the projects that I've been working on. I have also taken on the technical lead, such as evaluating, deciding and educating on anything from platforms, frameworks, APIs, tools, continuous integration and release pipelines to methodology including TDD and code
