What I'm looking for

I seek senior infrastructure or security roles where I can lead operations, improve reliability, and strengthen defenses in enterprise environments.

I am a senior infrastructure and cybersecurity engineer with over 20 years of experience designing, operating, and securing enterprise IT environments across Mexico and the USA.

I have managed corporate service infrastructure deployed in multiple data centers, administered complex networks with BGP and L3 switching, and overseen virtualization and storage platforms supporting 100+ servers.

My cybersecurity work includes firewall and VPN administration, SIEM monitoring, DDoS protection, IDS/IDP, vulnerability analysis, and CEH certification, plus hands-on experience with email security and WAFs.

I bring practical operational leadership supporting dozens of offices, IP telephony, wireless systems, and large-scale university networks, and I prioritize reliability, security, and measurable service outcomes.
