What’s an Architect?

The first person on the scene. The solver. The guy who can do it. The guy who can create the solution. The doctor, the lawyer, the dentist. The main man. The most knowledgeable person about a topic. Similar to an analyst but this guy knows how to actually create the thing. An analyst might know how to do this but this is the guy that can actually do it and does it. He probably directs other developers to do stuff. He has the keys to the kingdom and can ride the fence between business needs and requirements and pragmatism / practicality in solution and design.
