Joaquin Cruz

Currently, I am a part of the Nutanix on Azure Baremetal team, where I design, build, and test reliable software systems to create a private cloud for customers using the Nutanix Hypervisor. I collaborate with various teams to enhance product quality.

Initially, I was part of the EPIC on Azure team, focusing on designing and building scalable and reliable software for running EPIC workloads on Azure. In January 2024, I transitioned to the Nutanix on Azure Baremetal team, where my responsibilities expanded to include setting expectations and collaborating with more teams within the Azure Private Cloud organization.

I was a key member of the security team at Cornershop by Uber, responsible for designing and building systems to support internal backend necessities and application security features. My role also involved identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities within the backend monolith.

I developed a system for device recognition within the application, similar to a two-factor authentication process. This system sends users an email with a link, which they must click to access the app from a new browser or mobile device.

I built software that simulates attacks on servers belonging to NIC Chile. The simulation introduces fake traffic traces into packet log files, which are then used as a training set for a neural network to create a mathematical model of traffic analysis.
