The Guy That Figures Shit Out.

1 Assess your current skill level

Before you enroll in any course, certification, or program, you need to have a clear idea of where you stand in terms of your system architecture skills and knowledge. You can use online self-assessments, feedback from peers or mentors, or portfolio reviews to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you identify the gaps that you need to fill, the areas that you need to improve, and the topics that you need to refresh.

You can use online job boards, industry reports, newsletters, blogs, podcasts, or webinars to stay updated on the latest trends, technologies, standards, and best practices in system architecture. You can also network with other system architects, recruiters, or clients to learn about their challenges, expectations, and preferences.

3 Choose relevant and reputable learning options

Based on your skill assessment and market research, you can select the learning options that best suit your needs and goals. You can choose from a variety of online or offline courses, certifications, programs, workshops, bootcamps, or seminars that cover different aspects of system architecture. However, you need to be careful about the quality and credibility of the learning providers. You can check their reviews, ratings, accreditation, instructors, curriculum, outcomes, and testimonials to ensure that they are reputable and relevant.

4 Showcase your learning achievements

After you complete your learning activities, you need to showcase your learning achievements to your potential employers or clients. You can update your resume, cover letter, portfolio, website, LinkedIn profile, or social media accounts with your new skills, knowledge, certificates, or badges. You can also create or update your blog, podcast, YouTube channel, or online community with your insights, opinions, or projects related to system architecture. This will help you demonstrate your value, expertise, and passion as a system architect.

It is also worth considering publishing your system architecture as applied science. WWW is an example of the architecture that emerged from science to that what it is now.

If your continuing education seems to fall flat in front of employers or clients, it’s time to bring out the big guns. Take, for instance, take the AWS Resume Challenge : josephaleto.io. It’s not just about learning AWS; it’s about applying it to a project that’s publicly visible and demonstrates your skills. Document your journey, showcase your project, and share your experience on your LinkedIn profile. This proves to prospective collaborators that you don’t just learn; you apply, reflect, and improve—a narrative that’s compelling in today’s competitive landscape.

5 Seek feedback and improvement

Finally, you need to seek feedback and improvement on your learning outcomes and performance as a system architect. You can ask for feedback from your instructors, mentors, peers, or clients on your work, projects, or solutions. You can also use online tools, platforms, or forums to get feedback from other system architects or experts. You can use the feedback to identify your mistakes, weaknesses, or areas of improvement. You can also use the feedback to find new learning opportunities, challenges, or resources that can help you grow as a system architect.

As vezes achamos que está tudo caminhando bem (e talvez realmente esteja), mas esse caminho pode n?o estar sendo visível para a corpora??o. Importante estarmos atentos para captar as impress?es através do feedback de nossa lideran?a, equipe e também das áreas de negócio às quais atendemos. O feedback n?o só proporciona a oportunidade de corrigir alguns caminhos, mas também é uma oportunidade para darmos visibilidade do nosso empenho na melhoria contínua e também de nossas conquistas pessoais e para a corpora??o.

Your papermill certificates and Udemy courses don't mean anything to anybody unless you can show something tangible that came out of them. Build something using your skills, even if that's a use case study for a made up widget that isn't the usual "filter on an eCommerce app" crap. If you don't have a portfolio, then all those letters beside your name are irrelevant. Besides, why the hell are you learning just to impress other people and get that next soul-sucking "dream job"? What a waste of life. Go learn how to crochet, then maybe you'll have a great Idea about a feature that you'll never find in that React class that ChatGPT can reproduce in 30 seconds anyways.

Sometimes it may be worth considering to change profession or industry for a while to gain different experience. It may result in either coming back to practicing architecture or being better in different profession because of understanding architecture.

The rule of thumb is to continuously monitor industry trends, technological advancements, and recent changes in market demands to ensure that any chosen continuing education efforts remain relevant and up-to-date. Moreover, completing the course is not enough. It's imperative to apply the acquired knowledge in real-world projects to effectively demonstrate its value.
