Summary
Ruth Fernandes is an Encryption and Data Protection Senior Consultant with eight years of experience designing secure, automated cloud solutions and driving compliance in regulated environments. She combines deep AWS and infrastructure-as-code expertise (Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm) with hands-on SRE and CI/CD practice to streamline deployments and boost reliability. Her background at Deloitte, Southwest Airlines, and PwC spans tokenization, PCI-DSS remediation, incident response, and regulator-facing risk programs, reflecting a rare blend of engineering and governance. Proficient in Java, Golang, Python, Kotlin and modern security tooling like Veracode, she also builds testing and validation pipelines with Postman, Pytest, and Docker. A Certified Scrum Product Owner, Ruth pairs agile product stewardship with mentoring experience and a knack for turning compliance requirements into automated, auditable workflows. Based in Denver, she’s equally comfortable authoring runbooks for production ops as she is automating the collection of PCI evidence—work that quietly reduces audit friction across teams.
