🚀 New Episode: Why I Transitioned from Developer to Solution ArchitectIn this episode of the Solution Architect Show, I sit down with a guest who asked me a powerful question:
"Why did you move from being a developer to becoming a solution architect?"The truth? It wasn’t by choice—it was by necessity.💡 When Microsoft discontinued custom development on SharePoint, I had to rethink my entire career path. Instead of chasing another platform, I chose to invest in long-term, transferable skills like leadership, communication, and strategic thinking.🎯 In this episode, we explore:
  • The difference between technical leadership and people management
  • Why solution architecture is a two-way door—you can always return to development
  • How to navigate uncertainty and career pivots with confidence
  • The importance of mentorship, adaptability, and giving yourself time to grow
Whether you're considering a shift or just curious about the journey, this episode is for you.
