About Me

A journey of continuous growth in technology leadership

I'm Julian Andrade, Global Director of Application Modernization at Link Consulting, part of the Linkroad Group. With over 15 years of experience in software engineering and technology leadership, I specialize in helping enterprises navigate complex digital transformations.

My career has taken me from hands-on software development through technical leadership to business management and global strategy. This journey has given me a unique perspective on how technology decisions impact business outcomes, and how to build teams that deliver exceptional results.

Today, I lead a global team focused on modernizing enterprise applications, migrating legacy systems to the cloud, and implementing cloud-native architectures. I'm passionate about sharing knowledge through writing, speaking, and mentoring the next generation of technology leaders.
