About me

I am a seasoned Senior System Administrator with over 22 years of experience managing complex IT infrastructures, including the administration of more than 500 VPS servers with 99.9% uptime and enhanced security measures. Throughout my career, I have directed incident handling and led successful backup and disaster recovery operations, minimizing operational risks and ensuring system reliability. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in Docker, Microsoft 365, and Networking to drive digital transformation and optimize system performance.

In my recent role as a Senior System Engineer at IdVPN, I led CI/CD adoption and security code audits, which improved release speed and reliability. I deployed and managed over 45 VPN servers using IKEv2 and WireGuard protocols, enhancing global access security. I also automated server orchestration using Ansible and developed APIs for backend infrastructure, integrating system monitoring to maintain 99%+ uptime.

As a Cybersecurity Consultant at Palo Alto Networks, I tailored Prisma Cloud security solutions to client needs, reducing exposure to critical threats. I led technical deployments and staff training, enhancing client security maturity and integrating cloud security best practices across multi-cloud environments.

I have also worked as a Cybersecurity Consultant and Senior System Administrator in various remote and hybrid roles, where I directed company-wide cybersecurity efforts, deployed security appliances, and conducted phishing prevention programs. My experience includes managing Linux servers, automating system administration tasks with shell scripting and Ansible, and providing 24/7 on-call support to resolve high-impact issues.

Additionally, I have project management experience leading the installation and programming of robotic systems, developing custom PLC-based automation solutions, and training technical teams. I am fluent in Spanish and English and continuously seek opportunities to apply my skills in system administration, cybersecurity, and DevOps to contribute to organizational success.
