Kevin Javier Montatixe.

Cybersecurity and IT Management Engineer. I design resilient architectures and active defense systems (DevSecOps).

Academic and Technical Rigor.

During my studies at Universidad Central del Ecuador, I was awarded the academic merit scholarship.

Engineering with Foundations.

I analyze security from its core. I understand technology through exact sciences and systems architecture, which lets me spot logical flaws before they become breaches.

Security by Design.

I build software assuming it will be attacked. I bake rigorous cybersecurity standards in from the first line of code to protect the integrity of enterprise data.

Academic Background.

University education based on exact sciences, computer engineering, and applied cybersecurity.

University Admission Simulators

Mock-exam platform for university admission tests (EPN, UCE, ESPE and the National Police) built for the Cambridge academy in Latacunga, Ecuador, and running in production. The server is in charge: the correct answer never reaches the browser during an attempt, the server owns the clock, and every answer is saved even when the connection drops. Teachers import question banks from Excel, Google Sheets, Word, PDF or photos; a quality review combining rules, a math engine and AI flags critical issues before publishing, and an assistant builds simulators only with explicit confirmation. It also includes PayPhone or bank-transfer payments, per-institution isolation, two-step verification for administrators and an immutable audit log.

Applied AI / Employability Tool

AI ATS-Resume Builder

Tailors your profile to each job with AI, anchored by identifiers so it never invents data: name, companies and dates are copied from your profile, not the model. It computes an honest match score by ATS keyword coverage, groups your skills by category, edits live with an A4 preview and exports an ATS-ready PDF. It includes an automation (n8n + Notion): it finds new postings daily, scores each match with AI, generates the CV tailored to the role and logs the pipeline in Notion, with a Telegram ping for the ones worth it.

Product · Data security

DartShannon — Ficha Viva

A stateful URL for every missing-person case: the link already circulating on WhatsApp updates itself and its thumbnail changes from 'missing' to 'found safe'. Privacy by design: the exact coordinate is never persisted —it is aggregated into an H3 cell and discarded in the same INSERT—; the map publishes bands, no dates or counts, with monotonic publishing (a cell never drops a class) against Sweeney's temporal attack; and nothing is published without human review. Go with no framework (2 dependencies), AES-256-GCM encryption in-process and an 80-line homegrown JWT verifier (HS256 only, no algorithm negotiation). PostgreSQL + PostGIS + TimescaleDB + H3; React 19 PWA frontend. Working end to end in development; only Google Cloud billing for the map is pending.
