"Michael Stiefel: Welcome to The Architects Podcast, where we discuss what it means to be an architect and how architects actually do their job. Today's guest is Justin Sheehy, he has spent most of his career thinking about how to make systems, composed of both computers and humans, safer and more resilient. He's currently chief architect for Infrastructure Engineering Operations at Akamai."
"Thank you for that kind introduction, Michael. So I certainly wasn't trained as an architect. I think that title as we use it in the software industry is not one with much of a training apparatus in most places. And it also was a much less common title in software related fields, of course, I'm not talking about building architecture here, when I first ended up with it, which was a little over 25 years ago."
Justin Sheehy has focused his career on making socio-technical systems safer and more resilient. He serves as chief architect for Infrastructure Engineering Operations at Akamai and has held senior roles such as chief technologist for Cloud Native Storage at VMware, CTO at Basho, and principal scientist at MITRE. He was not formally trained as a software architect. The software-architect title frequently lacks formal training and was less common historically. His early work centered on distributed-systems engineering in the 1990s. Around 2000 at Akamai, many system types and scales were novel and practical literature was limited.
