Software, cloud & security engineer
Open to software, cloud, security, DevOps and product roles.
I graduated in Computer Engineering and Business Administration, a mix that has taught me to see every project from both sides.
What I enjoy most is building things from scratch, from the first idea until it reaches the people who will use it. I also love talking to customers and the community: it is the best way to understand what they really need. I learn fast and adapt easily to every team.
Away from code, I am passionate about fashion: its history, the stories of the people who design it and the whole creative process behind a runway show.
Prowler is an open-source cloud security platform used directly by enterprise customers.
I turned compliance requirements (CIS Benchmarks, CISA) into automated cloud configuration and IAM checks for AWS, Google Cloud, Azure and Google Workspace, across the whole cycle: design, code, tests and documentation.
I implemented Prowler's first set of checks for AWS Nitro Enclaves and co-wrote a technical article with an AWS engineer.
I reviewed and approved contributions from the open-source community, keeping the codebase consistent and high quality.
I worked every day in English in a remote, international team, in touch with customers and the open-source community.
What the people I have worked with say about my work.
I have followed her work closely and can say that she is a thoughtful and dependable security engineer who turns complex cloud risks into practical, well-tested product capabilities.
“She combines strong technical ability with sound security judgment and has earned our confidence through the quality, breadth, and consistency of her work.”
“Lydia's public contribution record reflects both range and sustained ownership.”
“I would gladly work with her again.”
I am absolutely convinced that Lydia Vilchez Lopez will be a key asset and add immense value to any project or organization.
“Much like our most experienced engineers, she played a fundamental role in developing Prowler's core.”
“She demonstrated astounding capability by taking charge of the entire lifecycle of this SaaS Cloud Provider: from the complex initial research phase to its successful final release.”
“She displayed an extraordinary sense of ownership over her projects — a degree of responsibility, autonomy, and care that is vital in a fast-paced startup.”
