Summary
Nestor Urquiza is an experienced Information Technology Solutions Consultant and full-stack platform engineer based in Madrid, blending 13+ years of hands-on product delivery with a 20-year track record of spinning off startups and leading technology transformations. He combines deep security credentials (CISSP and multiple domain certifications) with practical DevOps/DevSecOps mastery across Azure, AWS and GCP, automating SDLC, deployments, testing and vulnerability assessments. Nestor has led product roadmaps and platform engineering for regulated sectors—healthcare, finance and government—delivering SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI/DSS and HITRUST-ready solutions. Technically eclectic, he moves fluidly between embedded C and hardware work early in his career to modern ML/LLM, AIOps/MLOps, serverless and big-data pipelines, often building teams and processes from scratch. Known for favoring simplicity and predictable delivery, he pairs Lean/Kanban product coaching with pragmatic architecture choices that prioritize security and compliance. An uncommon strength: he routinely converts terabytes of unstructured multilingual data into production-ready ML training sets and integrated translation products.
