Hi, I'm Jerry.

Enterprise Architect | Technology Leadership | Software Engineering & Delivery | AI

Technology leader with more than 25 years of experience spanning hands-on software engineering, enterprise architecture, software delivery, organizational leadership, cloud modernization, AI, and technology strategy.

I currently serve as an Enterprise Architect at Link Logistics, where I work across business and technology teams to evaluate strategic initiatives, establish architecture direction, guide modernization, and translate business priorities into scalable technology approaches.

Earlier in my career, I served as Head of Software Development, Head of Emerging Technologies, Vice President of Software Development, and Interim CTO.

On the weekends, you can find me on a Texas lake bass fishing.

Technology Leadership from Multiple Perspectives

My career has given me the opportunity to lead technology from several different seats: engineer, architect, development leader, consultant, technology executive, and enterprise architect.

That breadth shapes how I approach technology decisions today.

I believe good technology leadership requires more than selecting platforms or producing architecture diagrams. It requires understanding the business objective, making deliberate investment decisions, building capable teams, managing risk, creating sustainable delivery practices, and measuring whether the technology actually produced the intended result.
