Senior software architects aren’t just pattern wizards anymore—they’re strategic influencers. In his new video, Luca Mezzalira breaks down why your deep technical chops need to evolve into big-picture leadership and introduces the InfoQ Certified Architect Program to help you make that leap.

Starting October 13, this 5-week live online cohort (for architects with 5+ years’ experience) walks you through QCon-sourced frameworks, hands-on challenges, and real-world scenarios. You’ll learn to steer high-stakes conversations, secure buy-in for long-term investments, and walk away with the official InfoQ Certified Software Architect in Emerging Technologies (ICSAET) credential.
