Gabriel Díaz is a seasoned computer engineer with over 20 years of experience building secure, scalable systems and more than a decade focused on cloud-native software and infrastructure. Currently at Wazuh, he leads engineering efforts on a new analysis engine and UI transformation while contributing to the open-source Wazuh security platform’s core router and sandbox testing infrastructure. His background blends deep security credentials (CISSP, CHFI, ISO27001) and network expertise with hands-on development in Scala, Go, Python and C, plus operational skill across Kubernetes, Terraform and major cloud platforms. He has driven innovation at BBVA in distributed patterns like CQRS, RAFT and SWIM, and unusually pairs formal functional-programming training (EPFL, University of Washington) with long experience running ISPs and on-prem infrastructure. Based in Alcobendas, Spain, Gabriel is a pragmatic technical leader who turns security and research into production-grade, observable systems at scale.
