AI Security Technical Lead | AI Security Specialist | Cloud | Cybersecurity/Information Security Architect

With over 15 years of experience, I'm an information security leader focused on architecture for AI and multi-cloud environments. I currently serve as the main technical reference at one of Latin America's largest financial institutions, where I'm responsible for defining security standards that ensure the safe and scalable use of emerging technologies (OpenAI, Azure AI, AWS Bedrock, Google Gemini) and multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle).

My technical leadership has resulted in the standardization of security frameworks that have become a company standard, the acceleration of the project approval cycle from months to weeks, and the optimization of processes. Additionally, I act as a mentor to architects, raising the organization's technical maturity in AI security.
