Francisco Fernández is a Data Security Architect for Data & AI based in Madrid with about 12 years of focused experience designing, securing and operating critical data platforms across cloud and on-prem environments. He combines deep hands-on technical skills—Kubernetes, Vault, Terraform, Spark and multicloud Azure/AWS/GCP—with product ownership and SRE leadership gained in banking and enterprise contexts. At Santander he leads security posture and reference architectures to enable resilient, compliant data ecosystems; previously he drove the cloud-native evolution and operator development for a Big Data SaaS at Stratio and led platform security and automation for BBVA. Known for pragmatic engineering, he moves beyond tooling to build governance, observability and deployment blueprints that reduce risk and time-to-market. Fluent in both infrastructure-as-code and platform software, he has a long track record of turning complex regulatory and operational constraints into scalable, automatable solutions. A curious technologist, he balances disciplined governance with a contrarian problem-solving mindset inspired by the maxim "if you can't solve a problem, it's because you're playing by the rules."
