Walter Santacruz — Security Consultant

Cloud Engineer with experience designing, securing, and evolving cloud environments at scale across banking, telecom, energy, and public sector. I have supported complex cloud transformations by assessing architectures, implementing security controls, automating through IaC, and leading teams through best practices that balance security, velocity, and business outcomes. I'm driven by curiosity and continuous learning, I hold 5 AWS certifications, completed a Cybersecurity Specialist postgraduate degree and pick up new tools and technologies fast by building with them from day one, not just studying them. I've led critical incident response, restructured engagement scopes under pressure, and made tough escalation calls that protected millions in regulatory exposure, always grounding decisions in data and long term impact. I've turned resistant teams into security advocates and translated technical risk into business language that drives action. I lead by enabling others, mentoring emerging talent and facilitating knowledge transfer. I am known for strong ownership, clear communication, and a pragmatic approach to solving complex technical problems. Open to roles in cloud security, remote or hybrid. Open to relocation.
