I build secure identity, access, and endpoint management solutions for federal enterprise environments.
What I'm looking for
I'm an ICAM System Administrator supporting the Federal Bureau of Investigation through Yakshna Solutions, where I manage Active Directory organizational units, custom attributes, security groups, sites, subnets, replication, and Group Policy. I implement role-based access control through Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Identity Manager, maintain ICAM server patching with BigFix, and resolve Jira tickets within SLAs.
I've also supported the General Services Administration's 2024 Presidential Transition Team, onboarding users across Microsoft Entra ID tenants, configuring Intune, managing device compliance, and supporting passwordless YubiKey setup. At the Department of State, I administered Active Directory and Microsoft 365, automated tasks with PowerShell, configured Okta MFA, and protected access to shares, files, databases, and SharePoint.
My cybersecurity work with ManTech includes threat monitoring, adversary hunting, incident management, SIEM and SOAR improvements, and KQL investigations in Log Analytics Workspace. I bring 8+ years across IAM, security operations, vulnerability management, and enterprise IT support, grounded in least privilege, access governance, and compliance.
