Summary
Rodrigo Araujo E Castro is a security analyst with a decade of experience blending cybersecurity engineering, cloud infrastructure, and data science across startups and enterprise platforms. He has led security policy design, vulnerability and incident response, and compliance work with ISO/SOC2 and privacy frameworks (LGPD/GDPR), while managing AWS security services and implementing least-privilege access for cloud and CI systems. Rodrigo’s background in data science and cost-optimizing cloud architectures (including a >60% cost reduction on platform infrastructure) lets him bridge security and product needs effectively.
