What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an application security / DevSecOps role where I can automate vulnerability management and security controls in cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP), collaborate across IT and OT teams, and continuously reduce operational risk.

I’m an Application Security Analyst and Telecommunications Engineer who focuses on integrating security into how teams build, deploy, and operate software. In my current role, I design and implement AI-assisted security workflows and automation pipelines that connect security controls, vulnerability data, and operational signals for better risk prioritization and secure delivery.

I strengthen security across the software development lifecycle by performing enterprise application security assessments and embedding DevSecOps practices into CI/CD pipelines. I also develop automation scripts in Python and JavaScript to optimize vulnerability management, event analysis, and reporting, and I support incident response through log analysis, alerts, and SIEM platforms.

Previously, as a Cybersecurity Specialist and Cybersecurity Lead across IT and OT environments at a manufacturing plant in Colombia, I led regional initiatives that improved secure integrations with internal and external networks. I implemented application and server improvements—system hardening, patch management, and vulnerability remediation—and designed an automation initiative for regional server patching that reduced obsolescence, manual effort, and downtime.

I bring hands-on engineering experience from my research and technical roles, including containerized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes and cybersecurity integration work for applied projects. I also keep building through personal technical documentation and projects around DevSecOps, infrastructure, security, and automation—so my approach stays practical, repeatable, and focused on reducing real operational risk.
