Woohooo!! i am officially now an Associate Software Architect!!!
The much awaited PAR's were finally completed. The main focal point of everyone (including myself) was to see how much our increment was going to be. But to my surprise, when i went to collect my PAR letter, i discovered that they had promoted me to Associate Software Architect!
This was something totally unexpected... But something i wanted to achieve since i started my career in 2000. True, i have been playing the architect role for around a year now. But having worked with people like Chandika Mendis, Sanjaya Karunasena and Shiham Naufer i know how much more i need to learn and experience before i can be a really good architect. I have truly learnt and benefited a lot by working closely with these gentlemen.
I truly want to end up like one of them. Someone everyone looks up to and admires. Wish me luck !
