PERSONAL PHILOSOPHIES
* Principal responsibility of an architect: To employ best-practices and practical application of technical knowledge in the development of efficient and cost-effective solutions to Human Problems.
* The Architect is adept at the use of heuristics to cause the preeminent result in favor of a poorly understood situation within the available resources; while reducing risk and maximizing performance and scalability
* Everything is created twice: First is the mental concept and design followed by physical production. An architect is an integral part of both creations. He must be able to selectively switch between conceptual and physical as required throughout the project.
* Continually Assess emerging technologies, practices, methodologies and standards and identify those that will have a positive impact on the company's bottom-line and quality of service.
