Endpoint Security Architect & Platform Engineering Lead

Jose Luis Lopez

Securing global fleets, end to end.

I build, secure, and scale enterprise endpoint platforms, currently leading strategy and engineering for a global fleet of more than 150,000 devices across macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. I turn complex endpoint, identity, and Zero Trust requirements into practical platform standards that reduce risk and keep the user experience clean.

About

The person who owns the hard endpoint problem

Across thirteen years I have built, secured, and scaled enterprise endpoint platforms. Today I lead endpoint platform strategy and engineering for a global fleet of over 150,000 devices, with ownership across Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro, Entra ID conditional access, device compliance, host hardening, vulnerability remediation, automation, and major incident response.

I lead a team of eleven engineers across Apple and enterprise mobility services, setting technical direction while staying hands on, close enough to write the policy, harden the host, and lead the room when something breaks at scale. I bring people along rather than dictating to them, and I would rather grow an engineer than escalate past one.

I am known for turning complex endpoint, identity, and Zero Trust requirements into practical platform standards that reduce risk, improve compliance visibility, and keep the user experience clean.

Security, Risk, Infrastructure, and business teams trust me to own difficult endpoint problems from strategy through execution. I size controls to real risk, prove outcomes rather than effort, and measure what I ship.

Where I have done the work

2023 — Present
GE Aerospace · Miami, FL
Sr. Staff Application Engineer, Endpoint Platform Lead
GE Aerospace

Technical lead for enterprise endpoint and hybrid infrastructure platforms serving more than 150,000 users worldwide. Lead a team of eleven engineers across Apple and enterprise mobility services. I own engineering direction across device management, identity integration, and conditional access while staying close to policy configuration, hardening, automation, and escalation.

  • Led the separation of endpoint and infrastructure services out of shared corporate systems into independent Fortune 500 environments, migrating approximately 100,000 endpoints over a six to eight month window while rebuilding device governance, identity, and compliance with no service disruption.
  • Designed host hardening baselines for macOS, Windows, and iOS that enforce encryption, set a steady patch cadence, and align device posture with conditional access.
  • Architected Intune and Jamf Pro frameworks that cut configuration drift and gave the security team clear, fleet wide compliance visibility.
  • Operate Entra ID conditional access tied to Intune compliance, so only encrypted, patched, policy compliant devices reach corporate resources.
  • Built Intune device compliance policies that check encryption state, OS version, patch level, and configuration posture, then feed those signals back into Entra ID as the trust gate for access.
  • Deploy and manage business applications and security tooling through Intune and Jamf, covering packaging, phased rings, required versus available assignment, and rollback so agents and apps land consistently across the fleet.
  • Built a vulnerability management workflow that tracks exposure across the fleet, prioritizes remediation by risk and user impact, and drives critical patches to roughly 80 percent fleet coverage within five days, closing the loop through deployment and verification.
  • Wrote PowerShell and Bash automation, including GenAI assisted scripts, to streamline provisioning, hardening, deployment, and reporting while reducing manual engineering effort.
  • Use Azure DevOps pipelines and repos to version control endpoint configuration, automate policy and script deployment, and run device management changes through a reviewed CI/CD style release process.
  • Serve as senior escalation lead for endpoint major incidents, coordinating identity, security, networking, and platform teams to restore service and reduce risk.
  • Define and track endpoint platform KPIs with Security and Risk, using data to size controls correctly and prove compliance posture over time.
2018 — 2023
General Electric · Miami, FL
Senior Application Enterprise Engineer, Mobility & Endpoint
General Electric (Corporate)

Supported global endpoint and mobility platforms across multiple business units.

  • Shaped the enterprise Intune governance model, contributing to policy design, conditional access alignment, and compliance enforcement across a large, mixed device population.
  • Partnered with Information Security and Risk to align device controls with enterprise audit standards and strengthen endpoint governance.
  • Improved endpoint lifecycle documentation and pushed global standardization so support and engineering teams worked from one consistent baseline.
  • Participated in change advisory for endpoint platform updates and risk managed releases.
2013 — 2018
BlackBerry Limited · Sunrise, FL
Enterprise Analyst, Mobility Platforms & Incident Leadership
BlackBerry Limited

Led global escalation operations for enterprise mobility and secure communication platforms serving financial and government clients.

  • Acted as senior technical authority during high impact incidents involving mobile infrastructure and secure communication platforms.
  • Advised enterprise customers on platform resilience, performance, and operational stability under pressure.
  • Reduced mean time to resolution by roughly 25 percent through structured operational playbooks, stronger documentation, and repeatable escalation practices.
