Summary
Mauricio Giraldo is a Cloud and Application Security Architect with 13 years of experience designing and hardening cloud-native systems across Rentokil Initial, Terminix and ServiceMaster. He combines hands-on development and security engineering—building automation and custom tooling in Python, Ruby, Go and Bash—with operational expertise as a Splunk Enterprise/ES cluster administrator. His background spans offensive and defensive security (red/blue team), penetration testing with bespoke scripts and Kali tooling, and architecting resilient cloud controls for global operations. Based in Miami, he brings a pragmatic IT architecture perspective from earlier roles as an IT manager and software developer, enabling secure, scalable delivery. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex risk assessments into deployable controls and disaster recovery plans. Less obvious: he pairs formal MS-level computer science training with a maker’s approach to security automation, often shipping tailored apps that close gaps faster than off-the-shelf solutions.
