Román Zamora Carreras

Solutions Engineer at HashiCorp

I work where technology meets business. I help teams understand complex infrastructure, design solutions around their needs, and put those solutions into practice.

I’ve spent years building personal projects with AI. I help customers shape identity and access management strategies for AI systems, drawing on my background in cloud, virtualization, and IT strategy. I also help customers adopt the latest advances in DevOps, CI/CD, and code review through AI-driven workflows.

Outside of work

Basketball has been part of my life for more than a decade, including captaining my school team. I’m also interested in economics, sociology, and the ways technology changes society.

I enjoy travelling, meeting people from different backgrounds, and following a good question into something new to learn.
