About

AWS Security Hero | Cloud Security Engineer | Founder & Lead Organizer of AWS Security Users Group LatAm

I specialize in cloud security for AWS multi-account environments, with a focus on automating security visibility across AWS Organizations. My work sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering and practical security — building real tools that solve real problems in production environments across LATAM.

I believe the best way to learn cloud security is by building, not memorizing. Every post I write comes from something I actually built, broke, or discovered in the field.

Currently building iam-audit — an open source Python tool that audits IAM users, Access Keys, and root accounts across AWS Organizations, with an interactive HTML dashboard and Docker support. Available at github.com/gerardokaztro/iam-audit 

As Founder and Lead Organizer of the AWS Security Users Group LatAm, I work to grow the cloud security community across the region — connecting engineers, sharing knowledge, and raising the security baseline one organization at a time.
