Our Data Architects have a strong foundation in data solution building blocks. With this expertise, they design solutions tailored to our customers' needs, balancing industry best practices with custom approaches for each unique requirement. With knowledge of both standard methods and customized solutions, our architects make informed, strategic decisions when designing solutions.
As a Data Architect at Solita, my role goes beyond just the technology — we deeply understand the customer's needs and collaborate closely to deliver meaningful solutions. What truly drives me is the value we create for the customer. Working with customers who trust and value our input fosters an incredible atmosphere where empathy and collaboration thrive. We don’t just focus on the implementation — we consider how each decision affects the entire team and how the end user will experience the solution. From cloud platform implementations to advanced language-model-based analytics, we operate at the cutting edge of technology. What makes my role fulfilling is knowing that our work has a real, tangible impact, helping customers meet sustainability goals and enabling transparent business processes.
