Sébastien Van De Poel - Team Topologies Advocate
Sébastien Van De Poel is a technical lead with experience in different roles. He intentionally took a position as a Functional Analyst and also as a Solution Architect because I believe collaboration gets better when you really understand each other's work. “Putting yourself in another's shoes helps create empathy”. Over time, he realized the Solution Architect role was limiting team autonomy. Now, he focuses more on helping teams collaborate, communicate openly, and continuously improve.
