Ricardo Romero

With a background in electronics engineering, I had a strong interest in how computers and software work. This led me to find a passion for cloud infrastructure automation and security. I enjoy the intersection of deep technical work and helping teams ship 🚀

Currently at HashiCorp as a Solutions Engineer, I work with enterprise customers to design infrastructure strategies around Terraform, Vault, and Boundary, etc., translating complex engineering into real business outcomes.

Before that, I graduated with a Master's in CS & Business Technology from IE University and a Bachelor's in Electronics & Control Engineering from EPN in Ecuador, where I was born and raised.
