What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Security Architecture role where I can own compliant security models, modernize security infrastructure, and reduce risk with measurable outcomes—building on deep incident experience and hands-on cryptographic configurations.

I’m a Security Architect focused on designing and enforcing robust security models that meet institutional standards and cybersecurity regulations. I’m currently completing a Master’s Degree in Information Security at Universidad de los Andes, building on hands-on experience delivering practical security improvements.

At BBVA, I defined and enforced security models across legacy and NextGen projects to ensure 100% compliance, and I modernized critical security infrastructure—improving system authentication security by 20% through upgrades including LDAPS and new biometric solutions. Previously in Security Operations, I managed core security incidents with deep trace analysis, reducing incident resolution time by 15%, and I performed direct cryptographic configurations on critical components to maintain 99.9% uptime. Earlier, as a Java Developer at Novatec, I engineered an enterprise payment migration from legacy batch technology to modern APIs and JDBC connectivity, reducing processing time by 40%.
