"During my formal education and subsequent experience, I took classes and acquired skills in some key areas critical to a Solution Architect's job. These included assessing an organization's technology needs, defining the scope of a project, developing system requirements, and exploring an organization's existing system's architecture. I also learned how to assess a system's performance and value, implement a quality functional deployment methodology, define the required interfaces, and identify and evaluate the risks associated with the project. This provided me with the skills and knowledge required to gather specifications, assess systems, and oversee team projects related to helping the organization achieve its business objectives."
