Cybersecurity architecture · Exposure management · Agentic SecOps
I’m Eddie Espino—a Cybersecurity Architect with 25+ years translating complex business, regulatory, and operational requirements into resilient enterprise architecture, from external exposure and vulnerability assessment through operational handoff.
Trusted in complex environments
Selected impact
A record of turning complex requirements into systems that can be operated, defended, and trusted.
Led multi-year security engineering for NextEra Energy / FPL across 17 power plants and a 250+ firewall environment, supporting NERC CIP governance and AMI growth from 2 million to 5 million smart meters.
Architected Corelight / Zeek detection capabilities for government and national-security environments, integrating Suricata, threat intelligence, SIEM workflows, and automated AWS sensor lifecycle operations.
Engineered an end-to-end Ansible framework for Linux and Kubernetes AI clusters with MetalLB, Calico, NVIDIA GPU Operator, Triton, Ollama, and full GPU observability.
Designed security across two FDOT / SunPass data centers and four high-availability firewall clusters built from the ground up for PCI-regulated toll-collection systems.
Core expertise
Equally comfortable in an executive architecture review, a packet capture, a firewall migration window, or a GPU observability dashboard.
Target-state designs and external exposure assessments that connect reachable risk, vulnerability validation, resilient controls, and remediation priorities.
Network evidence engineered into usable detections, investigations, and response workflows.
Secure, observable AI infrastructure and integrations designed to be repeatable and supportable.
The operational layer that makes architecture measurable, diagnosable, and durable.
