Senior Software Engineer · DevSecOps

Hi, I'm Rudy Rodriguez. I build the pipelines that keep enterprise software shipping — safely.

15+ years engineering CI/CD platforms, automation frameworks, and secure delivery pipelines at enterprise scale — from IBM's virtual server orchestration to Wells Fargo's multi-tool DevSecOps ecosystem.

About

Fifteen years turning manual, fragile systems into resilient, automated ones.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer and DevSecOps Engineer with a career-long pattern: find the legacy, manual process, and rebuild it as something automated and secure by design. Most recently, I owned pipeline architecture and production troubleshooting at Wells Fargo Bank across Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Harness Deploy, and UCD — including CI/CD operations support for Kubernetes-based deployments — for dozens of application teams.

Before that, I spent eleven years at IBM/FileNet progressing from QA Intern to Staff Software Engineer, where I architected an on-demand virtual server orchestration platform and built the automation that ran it. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Applied Mathematics from Cal State Long Beach.

How I approach a pipeline

  • 1

    Root-cause, not workaround

    Diagnose build, deployment, and integration failures across interconnected platforms under SLA.

  • 2

    Shift security left

    Embed secret-detection, SCA, and SAST scanning directly into the pipeline, not bolted on after.

  • 3

    Automate the durable fix

    Partner cross-functionally to replace recurring manual fixes with scalable automation.

Experience

Two enterprises. Two decades of pipeline architecture.

CI/CD Ecosystem

Wells Fargo — Escalation Point

Senior Software Engineer, DevSecOps · 2016–2026

Served as senior escalation point across Azure DevOps On-Prem, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Harness Deploy, and UCD, keeping build and release pipelines running for dozens of application teams enterprise-wide.

DevSecOps

Security Scanning, Embedded

Wells Fargo Bank

Embedded TruffleHog, Black Duck, and Checkmarx directly into CI/CD pipelines, enforcing secret-detection, SCA, and SAST checks as part of a shift-left security practice.

Secrets Modernization

Legacy Portal → Vault

Wells Fargo Bank

Led the migration off a legacy TFS/Jenkins-integrated secrets portal onto HashiCorp Vault (on-prem) and Azure Key Vault (cloud), hardening the security posture of the entire pipeline ecosystem.

Enterprise Onboarding

Pipeline Onboarding at Scale

Wells Fargo Bank

Led onboarding of new application teams onto CI/CD tooling, engineering pipeline configurations and providing hands-on post-onboarding support to accelerate time-to-deployment.

Cloud Orchestration

On-Demand VM Provisioning

IBM / FileNet · 2005–2016

Architected and automated a continuous-deployment platform for on-demand virtual server provisioning, engineering CI/CD automation with UrbanCode Deploy and Jenkins across cross-functional teams.
