CIO/CTO/CISO

About Me

Strategic Technology Executive with 28+ years of experience delivering high-impact results as CIO, CTO, and CISO. I bridge the gap between complex technical ecosystems and core business growth, specializing in Hybrid Infrastructure, Financial Software Development, and Enterprise Cybersecurity. My career is defined by leading large-scale digital transformations, from migrating mission-critical workloads to the Cloud (AWS/Azure) to architecting secure, high-traffic banking platforms. I have a proven track record of managing multi-million dollar budgets and leading multinational teams across the Americas, ensuring operational excellence with 99.99% availability. Core Pillars of Expertise: * Software Engineering: Banking satellite systems, Microservices, and API integrations. * Cybersecurity: SOC/NOC operations, threat intelligence, and compliance (ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS). * Infrastructure: Cloud-native strategies, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform). * Strategic Leadership: RFP management, vendor negotiation, and IT governance (ITIL/COBIT). I am passionate about building resilient technology organizations that are secure by design and optimized for innovation
