Armando Salcedo

I’m a Software Engineer building security expertise from the inside out—using my full-stack background to strengthen authentication systems, validate identities, and reduce the attack surface.

In my current role as a Data and Compliance Auditor, I monitor and audit access controls for sensitive documentation, enforcing data privacy policies and verifying compliance under the HIPAA framework to maintain identity integrity across workflows.

Previously, I architected and implemented authentication modules as a Full-Stack Developer, applying rigorous input sanitization and identity validation to prevent injection attacks and improve system auditability. I also supported access log tracking through database performance and indexing improvements.

Through hands-on SIEM and Identity lab work, I deploy Splunk with Keycloak in Docker to ingest access logs, generate dashboards, and create alerts for simulated brute-force attempts and unauthorized privilege escalations. I’m especially focused on long-term specialization in Identity and Access Management.
