“Piecing it all together” - My take on Solution Architecture in a world that’s always shifting

“Piecing it all together” - My take on Solution Architecture in a world that’s always shifting

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably walked into a project and quietly asked yourself:

“Where does one start when everything feels halfway finished?”

Welcome to the wild, beautiful chaos that is Solution Architecture.

As someone who’s recently joined the Entasis Partners team (Hello👋), I’ve had the privilege of stepping into a world where structure meets ambiguity, and delivery is a commitment.

 

Why Solution Architecture? Why now?

Because everything’s connected.
And right now? Organisations are under pressure like never before.

Tech debt is climbing. AI is disrupting. Cloud-native is no longer ‘next’ . . it’s now.
But the truth is, none of these transformations land cleanly without someone mapping the mess, managing the moving parts, and aligning solutions with real-world outcomes.

That someone? Is often the Solution Architect.

They’re designing the systems and creating clarity in complexity. And that’s exactly why I love working in this space.

A bit about me

I joined Entasis Partners in May as a Delivery Consultant, focused on supporting and sourcing strong talent in Solution Architecture, Cybersecurity, Software, Applications, and Integration.

Before this, I cut my teeth in a 360 role, covering everything from BD to placement - but I’ve always been more passionate about the craft of sourcing well, understanding needs deeply, and placing candidates who fit.

My background also includes recruiting for controls and automation environments. Think field service engineers and systems integrators - where precision, operational efficiency, and domain expertise are non-negotiable. That mindset has shaped how I now approach complex architectural hires.

Right now, I’m most engaged in helping our Clients tackle projects where architecture is foundational. From Greenfield builds to tangled Brownfield estates, I’m hands-on in aligning the right people to the right outcomes.

 

What makes Solution Architects stand out Today?

It’s no longer enough to know the tech. Today’s standout Solution Architects are:

·        Bilingual in strategy and systems

·        Curious enough to challenge, not just comply

·        Calm under pressure (because let’s be honest, there’s always pressure)

·        And collaborative, because nothing lands in a vacuum

They’re the ones who walk into chaos and see patterns.
They can see five moves ahead without losing focus on the one in front of them.

And in a world of vendor sprawl, platform integration, and transformation fatigue - it’s not only valuable but vital.

Why I Chose Entasis Partners

Because this place isn’t about placing CVs. It’s about building solutions, building trust, and building capability.

We partner with businesses who understand the strategic value of architecture, and we don’t compromise on quality - in delivery, in relationships, or in outcomes. The people here genuinely care about impact, and that’s a culture I wanted to be part of.

And as someone who’s naturally curious and motivated to grow, I couldn’t ask for a better place to evolve.

 

The businesses that are winning are those that architect with purpose. And I’m here to help you be part of that.
