I am an engineering leader and product builder with extensive experience across telecom, cloud, and cybersecurity domains. Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles such as CTO and VP of Engineering, where I have led multidisciplinary teams and delivered complex service-provider and hybrid-cloud programs from architecture and automation to secure operations. My expertise lies deeply in networking technologies including SP/SD-WAN/BGP, cloud-native platforms and applications, and enterprise security such as Zero Trust, NGFW, and vulnerability management.
In my current roles as CTO and Co-Founder at CTX and VP of Engineering at Telecom District, I own the technical vision and execution, aligning product strategy with multicloud connectivity and cloud-native architecture. I have invented and architected innovative solutions like the CTX Reflector for automating BGP route management and built Kubernetes-based microservices platforms. I am experienced in designing secure multicloud network architectures integrating NGFWs, SD-WAN, and hybrid connectivity patterns to enforce policy consistency and routing correctness.
I have led engineering delivery using modern CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code tools, integrating AI-assisted workflows to accelerate delivery and improve operational insights. Recruiting and leading multidisciplinary teams, I have established engineering standards, review culture, and operational excellence to ensure reliable execution at speed. I also build strategic partnerships with cloud, telecom, and security vendors to position companies in multicloud networking and BGP orchestration.
Previously, I have held roles such as Team Lead for Network Security & DevNet, Senior IT SecOps Engineer, Infrastructure Manager, Cybersecurity Manager, and CTO at Defme. My responsibilities have included managing NGFW infrastructure, vulnerability management, incident response, infrastructure implementation, Linux hardening, cloud security initiatives, and product demos for go-to-market execution.
My technical skill set includes Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, GitOps, Cloudflare security solutions, BGP, IPsec, GRE, NGFW, SD-WAN, Bitbucket Pipelines, Terraform, Ansible, AWS, Azure, GCP, Python, Rust, and many others. I am passionate about driving innovation in routing, security, automation, and cloud-enabled telecom services, and I continuously strive to improve service reliability, security compliance, and operational excellence.
I am fluent in Spanish and English, with basic knowledge of German. I hold multiple Cisco certifications and degrees in Telecommunication and Network Engineering as well as Computer System Engineering. I am committed to leveraging my skills and leadership to deliver impactful technology solutions and lead high-performing teams in dynamic environments.
