Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAl Wirtes is a seasoned technology leader with 11 years in senior IT roles and a two-decade career building integration, MDM, and enterprise architecture solutions across higher education and enterprise. As Director of Advanced Technologies & Enterprise Architecture at the University of Colorado he advises senior stakeholders, directs integration, database and MDM teams, and shapes future-looking technical strategy and budgets. He has a track record of delivering real-time, single-source architectures and enterprise-wide identity and integration platforms—from implementing SAML SSO and ESBs to designing data exchange platforms for online education. A pragmatic manager and hands-on architect, he has led product teams, hired and coached engineers, and driven measurable productivity gains in both startup and large-organization contexts. Based in Broomfield, CO, he blends a founder’s engineering curiosity (former CTO/founder of an API/VOIP startup) with institutional-scale governance and stakeholder diplomacy. Colleagues would note his uncommon mix of technical depth, cross-campus relationship-building, and a wry “lamplighter turned elevator operator” sense of humor.
