My career is built on a solid 20+ year trajectory leading technical teams, managing high-pressure projects, and solving complex workflow problems for top-tier global Visual FX Studios.
Today, I am channeling all that experience into my true passion: DevSecOps and Cloud Security. By combining my background in team leadership, risk mitigation, and pipeline optimization with rigorous, up-to-date technical training, I offer a unique perspective to the tech industry.
I excel at analyzing workflows to implement solutions that are not only secure and scalable, but also cost-effective. As I step into this new chapter, my goal is to blend my professional maturity with a constant drive for learning—bringing a sharp, analytical approach to driving automation, shifting security left, and keeping digital environments thoroughly protected.

I just wrapped a course on Cloud Security & DevSecOps where I learned to turn security and compliance into code. It’s all about building fast, high-performing cloud setups that stay secure without blowing the budget.Basically, I now know how to ship apps safely while keeping everything automated and lean on a Cloud Environment.
Graduated from the AWS re/Start Program after receiving a scholarship through Potrero Digital and Compromiso Foundation. It was an awesome journey that let me learn all about the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification. I walked away with a solid grip on cloud fundamentals and the skills to build reliable infrastructures from scratch. Huge thanks to the sponsors for the opportunity to level up.
It was an awesome experience playing both sides of the coin —Red & Blue Team— to understand how to both attack and defend systems. I got my hands dirty learning how to hunt for vulnerabilities and, more importantly, how to lock servers down tight. Now, I’ve got a much sharper eye for spotting threats and keeping infrastructures secure. It was an intense journey, but I’m coming out of it with a solid set of technical skills.
• Designed a multi-account AWS DevSecOps pipeline for a simulated VFX studio. • Enforced deny-by-default IAM with time and IP based access conditions and MFA. • Automated approval workflows using Lambda, Step Functions, and DynamoDB. • Segmented networks per team and monitored access via CloudTrail alarms.
• Direct client relations management ensuring clear and consistent communication. • Management of the VFX Artists Team to deliver premium final results. • Resolve critical service inquiries while maintaining international quality standards. • Ensuring high client satisfaction goals to foster long-term partnerships.

• 3D Modeling, texturing and shading for 3D Models. • 3D Animation of scene objects and Characters. • Lighting of 3D scenes to match video footage. • Composition and Editing and sound design.
• Welcoming and introducing each person who was new to training. • In charge of the class, teaching the proper technique for every workout. • Daily or weekly classes I was certified in (CrossFit, Indoor Cycle, Functional Training, TRX, HIIT, Personal Trainer, etc.).
Cloud Practitioner
Essentials
Actions
Building a full DevSecOps pipeline for a fictional VFX studio on AWS, from scratch, inside the free tier. New to Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD, so I’m learning hands-on: I make the architecture decisions and document the why behind each tool, using Claude AI to generate the heavier code and commands, which I then run, break and own. All tested locally with Floci (a local AWS emulator) before touching a real AWS account. Building in public as I go.
TECHNICAL BLOCKS
Core pipeline (7 blocks):
✅ 01. Network – VPC, per-department subnets, VPN, NACLs
✅ 02. Storage – S3 + DynamoDB, versioning, encryption
✅ 03. Identity – Cognito (MFA, 3 user pools), IAM with time/IP-based access policies
✅ 04. Automation – Step Functions, SNS, Lambda (FFmpeg), SyncSketch integration
⬜ 05. Render Farm – SQS, EC2 Spot + Auto Scaling
⬜ 06. Audit Logging – CloudTrail, CloudWatch alarms
⬜ 07. Client Review – CloudFront signed URLs, guest access for Recruiters.
