Hi! I'm Alfonso.
My journey started as a Full Stack Developer, but I quickly found my calling in the infrastructure side of things: transitioning to DevOps/Cloud Engineering within my first year.
That shift opened the door to CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, and cloud-native technologies. Today I focus on building secure, automated, and reproducible infrastructure.
Right now I'm deeply invested in the intersection of AI and security: deploying LLMs safely, using AI to automate threat detection, and hardening AI pipelines against adversarial attacks.

Current Focus
AI Security & LLM Hardening
Exploring how to deploy large language models securely in production: prompt injection defenses, model artifact signing, and AI-driven threat detection in Kubernetes environments.
