It sounds like you're very good at what you do.

Sadly I've seen "architects" being more focused on drawings, crude prototypes and fluffy ideas. Basically dreaming up ideas and concepts, throwing them over the wall to developers and SREs to pick up. A previous boss of mine had to callback a candidate for a job, telling him, that despite us hiring pretty much anyone, we had no need for someone who thought of software architecture as a desk exercise.



These fluff and idea types are typically called "Ivory Tower" architects (from my experience).
