Luis Pedroza

Software Engineer | Cybersecurity & Cloud

Technology enthusiast and software engineer passionate about continuous learning. Currently deepening my expertise in operational cybersecurity while leveraging my strong background in Cloud Computing, DevOps, and Web Development.

About Me

I'm a 28-year-old Mexican software engineer, graduated from Universidad PolitΓ©cnica de Aguascalientes with a specialization in Networks and Telecommunications.

After a rewarding tenure as a Tech Support Engineer at Cloudflare where I assisted customers globally with DNS, SSL/TLS, CDN, WAF, and API solutions, I was affected by the company's recent layoffs. I am now actively seeking my next challenge.

πŸ” Current Focus: Cybersecurity

I am dedicating my time to learning operational cybersecurity beyond vendor-specific ecosystems. My focus areas include security operations, network defense, threat analysis, and incident response β€” building upon my solid foundation in networking, Linux systems, and cloud infrastructure.

I enjoy photography, audiobooks, hiking, and spending time in nature. After a professional break traveling in Toronto, Canada, I returned full of energy and motivation to continue growing in Cloud Technologies and Security.
