@edwinlaranang
I automate IT asset and SaaS operations, accelerating secure hardware deployment and compliance workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've managed enterprise IT operations across Stanford University, Stanford Medicine, and Wordly, spanning endpoint systems, asset management, SaaS administration, and security compliance.
At Stanford University, I built ServiceNow procurement and inventory workflows and deployed custom Claude skills, scheduled tasks, and AI agents, reducing hardware deployment turnaround from more than 60 days to under 14 days during vendor supply chain disruption. I analyze usage across thousands of endpoints, govern software and hardware standards with stakeholders and vendors, and identify cost-optimization opportunities.
At Wordly, I administered Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, Hexnode, Vanta, and Zoom; managed identity governance; evaluated Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini; and supported SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audit evidence and access reviews.
