About

My career has centered on enterprise cybersecurity, technical pre-sales and cloud environments. I have supported Enterprise and Government customers in Mexico across the full technology adoption cycle: discovery, architecture, demonstration, proof of concept and implementation.

My current work focuses on three areas: the Fortinet ecosystem (FortiGate, FortiEDR, FortiAIGate, FortiManager), architectures on AWS and Azure, and the automation of security operations through Python, infrastructure as code and LLM-based agents.

This site brings together personal projects, technical labs and field notes. If you would like to discuss a new opportunity or a security architecture challenge, my inbox is open.

Technologies and domains I work with regularly:

  • Fortinet
  • FortiEDR / XDR
  • FortiAIGate
  • AWS
  • Microsoft Azure
  • EDR / NDR / SIEM
  • SOC Operations
  • MITRE ATT&CK
  • NIST
  • Zero Trust
  • Python
  • Threat Hunting
