UruguayWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Cloud & AI Security Engineer and DevSecOps Lead with 5+ years securing and automating enterprise workloads on Microsoft Azure and AWS. I specialize in translating compliance requirements (HIPAA, GDPR, PIPL, CCPA, ISO 27001, NIST) into Zero Trust architectures that remain auditable without slowing delivery, with hands-on cloud security operations, identity governance, and threat modeling (STRIDE).
In my current role, I own cloud security and secure automation across a hybrid Azure/AWS estate, extending Shadow IT discovery into Shadow AI to surface 200+ unsanctioned SaaS and GenAI/LLM tools and reduce shadow-tool exposure by ~40%. I also operate SIEM/SOAR and CSPM, tune detections to cut false positives from ~40% to under 3%, and raised security-control compliance from ~70% to 99%+ within six months—while building MLSecOps guardrails for Azure OpenAI and Azure Machine Learning.
