→ Cut cloud infrastructure costs 30% for a US biotech SaaS company using GCP rightsizing + autoscaling
→ 2× release velocity at a US biotech SaaS by streamlining CI/CD
→ Built recurring AI consulting from $0 to $1,500+/client serving LATAM tech professionals
8+ years building production systems that move real money 24/7. CKA + CKAD certified (Linux Foundation / Cloud Native Computing Foundation).
💼 What I do:
→ Cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, Azure) — Kubernetes, Terraform, ArgoCD
→ AI Agents, RAG & Automation — Claude / OpenAI, Python, production-grade
→ Infrastructure cost optimization — typical 25-40% savings
→ CI/CD pipeline acceleration — typical 3-5× speedup
→ Production systems on your existing stack (no rip-and-replace)
🎯 Best fit for:
→ B2B SaaS with infrastructure scaling challenges
→ Legal/professional firms needing AI document automation
→ Marketing agencies needing content automation systems
→ Teams needing senior engineering on fractional/project basis
Stack: Kubernetes · Terraform · ArgoCD · AWS · GCP · Azure · Python · Go · Claude Code · GitHub Actions

I help businesses identify vulnerabilities, analyze network traffic, and improve their cybersecurity.
My services include:
• Vulnerability assessment and basic penetration testing (web, network)
• Network traffic analysis using Wireshark
• Intrusion detection and monitoring (Snort)
• Security auditing and system hardening (Linux/Windows)
I have hands-on experience with tools such as Nmap, Nikto, Burp Suite, and Wireshark, applying OWASP Top 10 and MITRE ATT&CK methodologies.
I can help you:
• Detect security issues in your system
• Analyze suspicious network activity
• Improve your system security configuration
• Support basic SOC operations and log analysis
As a Computer Engineer, I bring a deep understanding of systems, allowing me to identify vulnerabilities more effectively and provide practical solutions.
Additional experience:
• Backend development (Python, Java, REST APIs)
• Embedded systems and IoT (ESP32, Arduino, C programming)

I design and build production-grade security systems for companies that need to secure cloud infrastructure, pass audits, and operate in regulated environments.
Most teams don’t have a security tool problem.
They have an architecture, integration, and execution problem.
That’s where I come in.
What I Do
I help startups and enterprise teams move from:
❌ fragmented tools and partial controls
❌ audit delays and failing security reviews
❌ reactive fixes and security debt
→ to
✅ engineered, scalable security architecture
✅ audit-ready, continuously compliant environments
✅ automated, integrated security operations
Core Expertise
Cloud Security & Cryptography
• Multi-cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• TLS PKI systems with automated certificate lifecycle (IaC + CI/CD)
• Encryption architecture (CMEK, KMS, data masking, data protection)
• Cryptographic hardening aligned with FIPS and modern standards
• DNS security, network isolation, and zero-trust patterns
Identity & Access Management
• SSO (SAML, OIDC), enterprise identity federation
• RBAC and least-privilege system design at scale
• SCIM provisioning and identity lifecycle automation
• Integration with enterprise IdPs (PingFederate, Azure AD, Okta)
• Cross-account and multi-environment access control
Compliance & Audit Readiness
• SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP-aligned environments
• End-to-end delivery: gap assessment → implementation → audit support
• Control design, remediation, and evidence automation (Vanta, Drata, custom pipelines)
• Continuous compliance monitoring vs point-in-time audits
• Closing audit findings fast (not just identifying them)
Security Engineering & Incident Response
• CI/CD security (SAST, DAST, IaC scanning, secret management)
• Vulnerability management with automated remediation workflows
• Cloud misconfiguration detection (CIS benchmarks, runtime analysis)
• Secure system design across infrastructure and application layers
• Incident response, forensics support, and system hardening
AI-Driven Security
I don’t just integrate tools — I design security platforms.
I have built and architected multi-agent AI-driven cybersecurity systems combining:
• Cloud security analysis (AWS integrations, IAM analysis, misconfiguration detection)
• Offensive security (recon, exploitation, privilege escalation simulation)
• Vulnerability management (SAST, DAST, fuzzing, CI/CD integration)
• SOC automation (SIEM/SOAR integrations, alert enrichment, playbooks)
• Forensics and incident investigation workflows
• Compliance reporting mapped to frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA)
Key capabilities:
• Multi-agent orchestration and communication
• Automated remediation workflows
• MITRE ATT&CK mapping and executive reporting
• API-driven integrations across security tooling ecosystem
• Role-based access for security, DevOps, and compliance teams
This enables:
→ Continuous security instead of periodic assessments
→ 80% reduction in manual security effort
→ Faster audit readiness and real-time visibility
How I Work
• Engineering-first — I build and implement, not just advise
• Work directly in production systems (cloud, identity, pipelines)
• Design for real audit constraints, not theoretical compliance
• Fast execution, clear communication, and ownership
Typical Clients
• SaaS companies preparing for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA
• Cloud-native platforms handling sensitive or regulated data
• Startups entering enterprise sales with security blockers
• Organizations with fragmented security tools that don’t work together
Important
I’m not a fit for checklist-based security or surface-level audits.
If you need:
• real security architecture
• working implementations
• systems that pass audits and hold up in production
- we’ll work well together.
