Santiago Hoyos

I am a certified Network Data Management Specialist with hands-on experience in GRC & Cybersecurity, Linux/Windows server administration, and infrastructure deployment. During my apprenticeship at AppGate, I evaluated risk matrices and control effectiveness under ISO 27001 and SOC 2 frameworks, updated ISMS documentation, and streamlined internal workflows using Power Automate and Microsoft 365 tools.

I am deeply interested in cloud architecture and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). As part of my practical achievements, I designed and built core AWS environments (VPC, EC2, S3, IAM) and automated a complete SOC telemetry pipeline using Terraform, Elastic Stack, and Docker in less than 8 minutes. I am currently deepening my knowledge in advanced observability tools and actively preparing for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect exam.

My goal is to leverage my hybrid background in networking and cybersecurity to excel as a Network Administrator or Cloud Support Specialist, contributing to secure, scalable, and automated infrastructures. I thrive on solving complex technical challenges, eliminating repetitive tasks through code, and continuously aligning infrastructure with security best practices.
