I do kind of see a disconnect reviewing your resume.

You have product/process architecture experience.  This immediately says to 
anyone reading, "not a programmer".  The company that is going to hire a 
process architect is going to be a large one.  For that large company, they 
are likely to want more than a lone individual.  Chances are they will want 
a consulting firm that can deliver a variable supply as the needs change. 
Besides that, a lot of larger companies are wrapped up in, or getting 
wrapped up in, Lean and Six Sigma processes. This is especially true if they 
understand the importance of process and might be inclined to hire an 
in-house process architect.  I see that as missing from your experience.
