Tiago Perez

Cybersecurity graduate and Data Center Analyst at Meta.

Currently supporting Meta's hyperscale data center operations through HCLTech, after completing a BSc in Cybersecurity at Anderson University. Outside that role, I've built a coaching platform used daily by a gym in France, an LLM-powered outreach pipeline, and a secure multi-VPC environment on AWS.

Experience

2026 – now

Data Center Analyst Meta via HCLTech · Fort Worth, TX

  • Write Python scripts that collect and analyze data center metrics to decide how infrastructure issues get handled.
  • Troubleshoot hardware and connectivity with engineering teams under strict access-control and opsec procedures.

2026 – now

Full-Stack Developer La Forge gym · Levallois-Perret, France · Remote

  • Sole developer of an iPad-first web app coaches use every day: assessments, workout logging, member progress dashboards and 4–8 week program generation.
  • Built the data model, auth, UI and deploys. One shared route wrapper handles auth, validation and errors for every API route.
  • Production and preview deploys run on separate databases and secrets, so test builds never touch real member data.

2025 – 2026

Automation Engineer Athlete Student Agency · Remote

  • Built a one-click Python pipeline over a database of athletes and ~3,000 universities that drafts tailored outreach with an LLM API and sends it. Replaced roughly 20 hours a week of manual work.
  • Set up remote access over VPN with SSH key authentication.

2022 – 2025

IT Assistant / International Ambassador Anderson University

  • Account access, authentication and troubleshooting for students and staff; ran security-awareness outreach.

Selected work

AWS Cloud Security Lab

Multi-VPC environment written as Terraform: peering, NACLs, least-privilege IAM with MFA, encrypted S3, CloudTrail and CloudWatch logging, plus GuardDuty, Inspector and Macie.

AAPL Sentiment Classifier

15 years of price data joined with news-sentiment features. A time-based split keeps future data out of training. XGBoost and Random Forest moved ROC-AUC from 0.54 to 0.58.

Python · scikit-learn · XGBoost · pandas

PhishPal

Chrome extension that checks links against VirusTotal when you hover them and warns inline. A small backend keeps the API key off the client.

JavaScript · Chrome Extensions API · VirusTotal

Voronoi Pitch Control

Draws each player's zone of influence on the pitch with Voronoi diagrams, a tool I built from my time as a team captain to talk about space and positioning.
