Joel talks about Target’s architecture and learning culture. (Starts at 14:45)
Joel Crabb VP of Architecture
Joel spent most of his working life coding large scale software systems for enterprises. Architecture crept in as he worked on larger and more complex systems that needed a holistic view and thoughtful planning to function and scale. At the same time, Joel embraced the Agile development movement and learned both the Agile and Architecture trades concurrently. He has worked in multiple industries and companies from startup medical devices, power utilities, health insurance, online banking, call center work force management, rail car commodity trading, online education, long haul trucking logistics, and finally, retail. Joel has served as Chief Architect for Minnesota’s two largest consumer goods retailers, Target and Best Buy. Joel brings a strong Agile and Engineering focused bent to the practice of Enterprise Architecture.
