Hi all. I'm hailing from Belgium, and am an enterprise architect in a reasonably large financial institution. My software engineering and software architecture skills grew mainly from low-level code development for real-time embedded systems (nothing to do with my current employer), and were refreshed through additional training/courses.
My current focus is more strongly towards infrastructure and non-functionals, but I keep a close eye on the software architectural evolutions, to be aware of evolutions and to be ready on infrastructure side for whatever new comes around. And to be able to tell colleague architects that they can resolve things themselves without blaming infrastructure ;-)
