The first steps
Security training, then offensive security work at Deloitte from 2019.
Senior AI Security Engineer · Moving into AI Safety
I've worked in security since 2019, first in offensive and application security, then, from 2024, assessing AI systems. Today I'm a Senior AI Security Engineer at CookUnity, building the company's AI Security practice.
Now I'm moving into AI Safety, focused on keeping control of increasingly capable systems: deception, misalignment and models pursuing goals we never intended. I'm still finding where I can contribute most, open to any path: AI security, research, programs, community or helping organizations put safety into practice.
I've also spent years building with other people: I co-founded ThreatX Security (nearly 2,000 members, 34 events), helped bring in sponsors and organized Hack The Box meetups in New Zealand and Argentina. I don't want to only learn about these risks. I want to help reduce them, with the people already doing it.
Threat modeling, adversarial testing and controls for AI systems and the organizations building them.
Starting and running communities, events and learning spaces that bring new people into the field.
Explaining AI risk to people outside the technical community, in English and Spanish.

In the media
From London to conversations in Bariloche: sharing what I learned at AISB about AI risks and how to contribute to safer development.
The public work I keep going while I build my AI safety foundations: resources, talks and video.
Drafts under review
I am organizing practical approaches to assessing AI systems, from scoping an engagement to documenting findings.

Co-founder · 2025 – 2026
With the founding team, I turned HTB Meetup Argentina into an independent community for Spanish-speaking security talent. It has grown to nearly 2,000 members, 34 events and 100+ shared resources, and its own brand opened the door to sponsors and member giveaways.
Ambassador and organizer · 2024 – present
I co-founded the Hack The Box meetup in New Zealand and later joined the Argentina chapter as an organizer, running in-person events, CTF challenges and workshops for 500+ members in free venues negotiated with partner institutions.
Speaker and volunteer
Seven public talks, including MCP Security at Ekoparty's AI Resilience Hub and the National Technological University (UTN) in Buenos Aires. Volunteer at Ekoparty (2019, 2020, 2022) and CHCon Christchurch (2023).
Excerpts from LinkedIn recommendations.
“He was always looking to learn and do his best on every engagement and would actively try to do better on the next one.”“One of his most remarkable qualities is his ability to persist in the face of challenges.”“It is rare to have the opportunity and privilege of witnessing an area being built from the ground up and seeing it grow step by step. That is exactly what I had the chance to experience alongside Ricardo.”If you work in AI safety (in research, programs, field-building, operations or security) and think my background could help, I would like to hear from you. I am open to programmes, fellowships and roles across the field.
