Name: Roland
Pronouns: he/him
Title: Technical Architecture Manager
Location: Remote
As the lead of the architecture team, I oversee all deposits applications, including servicing, originations, marketing, money movement and product strategy. My team and I are dedicated to designing and delivering innovative solutions to enhance our customers’ financial experiences.
The Discover behavior “We Succeed Together” epitomizes the work of architecture, which is meant to serve as the glue and grease between the moving parts of the organization. We thrive by collaborating with business and development teams, as well as security and architecture governance bodies to bring regulated and standardized designs to achieve business goals. A recent standout project for me is the Personal Finance Management (Personetics) initiative. This project is particularly impactful because it provides our customers with a comprehensive view of their spending patterns and overall financial health. By providing them with data and proactive advice, the company is delivering on its mission to help customers save more effectively and achieve their financial goals.
Discover’s culture is deeply rooted in its dedication to customer service, which is clear in the way the business approaches every initiative with a customer-first mindset. Knowing the efforts of me and my team directly contribute to the greater good of our customers and the business is incredibly fulfilling.
The spirit and environment at Discover have also made my journey at Discover incredibly fulfilling and rewarding as well as enhanced my professional growth. I appreciate the culture valuing diverse perspectives and actively encouraging everyone to contribute their unique ideas and skills. This fosters a genuine sense of teamwork and unity that supports the success of the business and makes the company a great place to work.
