ABOUT US
WHAT WE DO
An international practice of senior architects, dedicated to delivering infrastructure transformation with clarity and precision.
arqitekta was founded by John Vindahl Fabienke, an A10-level architect with over 20 years of experience in infrastructure architecture. After years leading multinational teams of 150+ across the US, Europe, and the Nordics, John saw a gap in the market: organizations needed independent, senior-level architecture guidance free from vendor bias and focused purely on outcomes.
Together with Edward Filistovic, a chief architect and certified trainer with 25+ years in IT, arqitekta brings a rare combination of strategic vision and hands-on technical depth. We don't just draw diagrams. We build the foundations that let enterprises move faster, spend smarter, and innovate fearlessly.
We are unapologetically technology-agnostic. Our loyalty is to your business outcomes, not to any vendor's roadmap. Whether you're modernizing legacy infrastructure, migrating to cloud, or designing a greenfield platform, we bring the same rigor: deep discovery, collaborative design, and documentation that actually gets used.
Based in Copenhagen with global reach, arqitekta works with ambitious organizations who understand that the right architecture decisions today determine their competitive advantage tomorrow.
WHY CHOOSE US
We combine decades of enterprise architecture experience with a modern, outcome-driven approach. Our expertise spans the full technology stack.
OUR UNIQUE PROCESS
We blend the best of classic and modern IT delivery into a four-step methodology that ensures clarity, quality, and measurable results at every stage.
DISCOVERY
We start by understanding your ambitions, constraints, and current state. Through stakeholder interviews and deep analysis, we uncover what you truly need -- not just what you think you want.
DESIGN
Collaborative, iterative design with your team and vendors. We create logical and physical architectures that are pragmatic, future-proof, and ready for implementation.
DELIVERY
From design to implementation packs, bills of materials, and operational runbooks. We deliver everything needed for a smooth, vendor-ready handoff and successful execution.
OUR CREDENTIALS
THE A-LEVELS
In enterprise architecture, the A-level system ranks architects from A1 (junior) to A10 (industry leader). Our founder operates at A10 level, with our chief architect at A9. We only recruit architects A6 and above — senior program and project architects with proven delivery records.
Combined with PMI PMP certification and TOGAF 9 credentials, this means every engagement is led by architects who have designed and delivered infrastructure at the highest levels of complexity and scale.
INNOVATION BUDGET
We help you shift spend from 'lights-on' maintenance to innovation — reclaiming budget for growth through targeted modernization.
OUR COMMITMENT
We believe architecture should serve business outcomes, not vendor agendas. Every engagement is built on independence, transparency, and a relentless focus on quality.
When you work with arqitekta, you get senior architects from day one. No bait-and-switch. No junior consultants learning on your dime. Our team brings real-world experience across datacenter, cloud, hybrid, and edge environments -- because we've been doing this for decades, not months.
We stand behind our work. Our deliverables are designed to outlast our engagement -- documentation that your teams can actually use, architectures that scale with your business, and strategies that remain relevant as technology evolves.
