Work Experience

Frontend Developer and Cybersecurity Analyst (Contract)

Oct 2024 - Mar 2026

Kriptos Inc., Miami, FL, USA (Remote)

  • Developed the frontend of the Update Manager platform, used by enterprise clients including Latin American banks to deploy and monitor Windows security agents across thousands of endpoints: 37,000+ lines of production TypeScript and React as the main contributor to the core repository, including real-time agent status, automated deployment workflows and role-based access control (RBAC).
  • Supported SOC 2 Type II certification by triaging findings from SonarCloud, Amazon Inspector and Hexstrike across 220+ repositories and coordinating remediation with development teams; implemented security fixes in the main frontend (authentication flows, dependency updates, input validation) without delaying feature delivery.

Legal Engineer and IT Lead (Contract)

Oct 2022 - Present

Grace Nelson Attorneys at Law, Cuenca, Ecuador (Remote)

  • Designed, built and operate an AI paralegal for the firm's shared mailbox: each client email triggers a sandboxed Claude agent that updates the client file, files attachments, consults a cited knowledge base and drafts an unsigned reply in Outlook for attorney approval. Median 2.2 minutes from email to draft (November 2026); 2.8% failure rate across 1,379 runs.
  • Lead the firm's information security: least-privilege Microsoft Graph permissions (send rights removed and verified), DKIM and DMARC, sandboxed agent runs that can change only one client's file, administrative access only over a private network, self-hosted Wazuh monitoring, versioned off-site backups and daily snapshots; write post-incident reviews and remediate root causes.
  • Developed the pipeline specification-first in Python (~38,000 lines, 2,869 automated tests): Microsoft Graph polling, a SQLite event queue, sandboxed systemd services and timers, retries, usage limits and health alerting; every deployment gated by the full test suite.

Founder and Lead Developer

Markatzy, Trademark Protection Platform (markatzy.com)

For a firm with 100 brands, it replaces more than 170,000 manual comparisons per month and narrows results to the conflicts that warrant attorney review.
  • Designed for multi-tenant security: organization-scoped queries enforced at the API layer, tiered rate limiting against registry scraping, hashed IP addresses, idempotent payment webhooks, and audit trails for data corrections and administrative actions.
