Identity & Access Management
Authentication and authorisation solutions that are secure by design and usable in practice.
Lead Security Architect · Cyber Security & Identity
Securing identities, enabling innovation.
I'm Gabriel Vergara Ezcurdia. I design secure architectures that protect identities, applications and critical enterprise data across complex digital ecosystems. I've lived and worked in Finland since September 1997 on software engineering, solution architecture and cyber security leadership.
What I work on
Secure architecture
Resilient enterprise and web architectures built on OWASP best practices from the first design decision.
AI-assisted development
Using AI to build software faster without giving up on security, review or accountability.
Quantum-safe security
Preparing systems for post-quantum cryptography before it becomes urgent.
Community & sustainability
I believe technology and society should both be built to last. I'm active in local politics in Nokia with the Greens (Nokian Vihreät), and I have been a candidate in every Nokia City Council election since 2008, most recently in 2025, as well as in the 2025 Pirkanmaa Wellbeing Services County elections.
I serve the City of Nokia as a Trusted Official for Property Transactions (kiinteistötoimitusten uskottu mies).
