Software Architect Resume

A software architect designs the structure of a computing system or a program. This includes designing software elements, the visible properties of these elements and the different relationships among them. A software architect should have a deep interest in computer systems and related technology to be able to select the right tools. He should also maintain, update and upgrade the system. A degree in computer science or related fields is necessary and, as always, experience is preferred. Software architects are recruited by software companies through campus and other types of placement and there are good opportunities for growth.
