what does a client architect do?

A Client Architect is a role that combines technical and business skills, focusing on designing software or system solutions from the client's or end-user's perspective. This ensures that the technical architecture meets business requirements, is scalable, secure, and delivers a positive user experience.

In general, their responsibilities typically include:

  1. Client Solution Architecture Design:

  2. Analyzes client requirements.

  3. Defines how system components will interact with each other.

  4. Selects appropriate technologies, frameworks, and design patterns.

  5. Communicates with stakeholders:

  6. Translates business needs into technical solutions.

  7. Presents architectural proposals to clients and internal teams.

  8. Technical Oversight:

  9. Ensures developers implement the solution according to the defined architecture.

  10. Reviews technical decisions to meet quality and performance standards.

End-to-End View:

Focuses on both the front-end (what the user sees) and the back-end (system processes and logic), if necessary.

They often coordinate with other architects (infrastructure, data, cloud) to ensure consistency.

In short, a Client Architect is the bridge between the client and the technical team, ensuring that the proposed solution is technically sound and meets the client's expectations.
