Summary
Diego Chavez is a seasoned software architect and security consultant with over a decade of experience designing and securing large-scale systems across banking, fintech, voting systems, healthcare, military simulation, IoT and blockchain. As a co-founder and fractional CTO, he blends hands-on engineering (Java, Node.js, Spring, microservices) with platform and DevOps leadership (SRE, CI/CD, Terraform, Kubernetes) to turn complex requirements into auditable, production-grade solutions. He has guided cloud and security architecture for governments and enterprises, led platform teams at payments and insurance firms, and teaches secure coding and Kubernetes security at industry academies. Comfortable from RFCs and architecture decision records to threat modeling and pentesting, he is equally at home mentoring hiring processes and shaping organizational topology. Based in Vicente López, Argentina, Diego pairs deep systems-level expertise with practical experience in emerging areas like blockchain smart contracts and applied machine learning. An educator and consultant by nature, he brings a pragmatic security-first mindset that often uncovers non-obvious operational and compliance risks early in projects.
