Jerry Odom

Summary

Senior Solution Architect and AI Automation Engineer with 30+ years of enterprise systems experience, including 8 years at Becton Dickinson where I transformed a legacy Windows deployment platform into a fully automated, AI-augmented system with self-healing capabilities and single-commit-to-production workflows. Now offering AI automation across the stack — applications, agents, deployment pipelines, and log intelligence — through Veloxe AI. Returning to senior consulting and fractional architect engagements; currently shipping production AI products in three verticals.

Selected Achievements

• Eliminated 6-to-8 hour Windows deployment outages at Becton Dickinson — outages too long for smaller hospitals to sustain — by replacing a manual ghost-imaging process with a modular, fail-tolerant, resumable OSD platform built from scratch.
• Saved BD an estimated millions in Microsoft Premier support costs by replacing legacy patching infrastructure with a self-maintaining OSD platform.
• Embedded production AI inside BD's OSD platform for automated log review and pattern recognition — among the earliest production AI integrations in their enterprise infrastructure.
• Pioneered VHDx-on-physical-device deployment when no one else was doing it — became the technical foundation for an 8-year platform evolution.
• Architected single-commit-to-production capability — one GitHub commit triggers core image build, intermediate hardware layer, and final production image.
• Led full migration from physical hardware to AWS-native automation after a major BD data center failure.
• Founded Veloxe AI; currently shipping production AI products including DeployX, Sage suite, ViralStrike, MADISON, and the Constitutional Lens Agent.

AI Systems Built (Production)

• Production log-intelligence AI inside Becton Dickinson's OSD platform — automated detection of deployment errors, log pattern recognition, and remediation triggers.
• MADISON — Multi-agent enterprise AI platform: intake classifier, lead qualifier, autonomous outreach drafter, nightly business council, mission control dashboard. Production on self-hosted Postgres + n8n + Slack.
• Constitutional Lens Agent — Production accountability research and writing system for political clients. Slack-driven workflow with Grok-3 writer + Perplexity sonar-pro fact verification. Live and writing under byline.
• DeployX self-healing pipelines — 22-stage GitHub Actions orchestration with AI-driven log analysis. Live sandbox at app.deployxpro.com/command-center.
• ViralStrike — AI video automation pipeline: n8n + WaveSpeed + ElevenLabs + F5-TTS + LatentSync orchestration. Multiple paying customers.
• ARENA — Multi-agent adversarial AEO brief generator built for Peec AI's MCP Challenge 2026. Open-sourced under MIT license at github.com/veloxe-ai/arena-veloxe.

Becton Dickinson

Solution Architect / Principal Microsoft Infrastructure Consultant via TriMax USA / Microsoft Consultant Services · April 2018 – May 2026

Hired to rebuild BD's enterprise Windows deployment system from scratch. Inherited a 68-page manual process document and a ghost boot disk. Delivered an enterprise-grade modular OSD platform that became one of the most advanced Jenkins-driven deployment systems in production anywhere — and folded AI directly into the deployment workflow.

• Modular fail-tolerant architecture from day one — replaced a 6-to-8 hour manual ghost-image process that smaller hospitals couldn't sustain.
• VHDx-on-physical pioneering — booted VHDx images directly on physical devices, the technical foundation for 8 years of platform evolution.
• First Jenkins-based OSD pipeline at BD, iteratively evolved over 8 years.
• AWS migration after data center failure — automated end-to-end with health checks and logging.
• Standardized cross-platform framework combining Jenkins + GitHub + GitHub submodules.
• Multi-generational imaging system — single GitHub commit triggers core, hardware, and production image builds.
• Production AI integration — automated recognition of deployment errors and remediation triggers.
• Eliminated Microsoft Premier support spend — saved BD an estimated millions in support costs.
