In computer science, what does a system architect?
In: 1
Just like regular architects system architects design the overall bird’s-eye view of the program(s). Regular architects don’t think about the placement of every and each screw but they decide the set of materials, the overall structure given a set of economic and legal limitations. The software architects are the same but the materials are programming tools (languages, build toolchains).
The system architects may decide the programming languages and the overall paradigms. Just like an architect designing the placement of the rooms, a system architect will decide the division of the individual units of a software (and sometimes hardware) system. They are expected to have enough experience working with the individual units and being up-to-date with latest innovations.
