I am a Cybersecurity Engineer and Backend Engineer with a strong security architecture focus from Rosario, Argentina.

Currently, I work at Teramot, an Argentine AI startup, where I focus on cybersecurity, backend engineering, cloud security, compliance and security architecture. My work involves integrating SOC 2 controls, ISO/IEC 27001 practices, AWS security policies, secure backend design and architecture decisions into the company's infrastructure and product ecosystem.

My role evolved from cybersecurity and compliance analysis into a hybrid engineering position that combines cloud security engineering, backend development, security architecture, compliance automation, secure product integration and technical decision-making for AI-driven systems.

I am also the creator of VT Security, a technical YouTube channel where I share practical and honest content about cybersecurity, Linux, networking, cloud computing, backend engineering and technology careers.

VT Security started as a personal space to document what I was learning. Through the channel, I create videos, guides, technical explanations and reflections aimed at helping people understand technology in a real, practical and accessible way.

Core technology areas:

• AWS cloud security: IAM, EC2, VPC, CloudTrail, CloudWatch, AWS Config, cloud hardening and security monitoring
• Linux and infrastructure: Linux server administration, system hardening, Bash, systemd, Docker, networking and troubleshooting
• Backend engineering: Go, C#, ASP.NET Core, REST APIs, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and secure API design
• Security architecture: secure product integration, compliance automation, access control, risk management and AI-driven product security
• Networking: firewalls, VPNs, MikroTik, WireGuard, ZeroTier, routing, VLANs and network segmentation
