DevSecOps Architect

DevSecOps & AI Architect | Scaling the SDLC with AI Agents | Innovation Mentor & Speaker
About me
DevSecOps Architect with more than 9 years of experience across the software lifecycle, from frontend and backend development to cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and Azure. Before joining Pacífico Seguros (Credicorp Group), I worked at Intercorp Retail and IndigitalXP (Intercorp Group) and Orbis Ventures (El Comercio Group), where I built platforms, pipelines, and microservices.
Today I lead the adoption of artificial intelligence across the SDLC: I define governance, policies, and tooling, build AI agents and extend their capabilities with skills, MCPs, and RAG, using agentic patterns and security best practices, as well as quantifying their benefit for management and the entire company.
I promote DevSecOps culture and the use of AI inside and outside the company through talks, training, and mentoring.
