What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own end-to-end identity and system integrations—writing the runbooks, automating onboarding and security baselines, and partnering with teams that value clear documentation and audit-ready execution.

I have built IT functions from nothing twice and participated in three acquisitions at Bloomerang, integrating Kindful, Bloomerang VMS, and Qgiv into the company’s identity, SaaS, and systems stack. That work is how I stand up identity for incoming orgs, migrate users, onboard them into the SaaS estate, establish security baselines, and decommission what does not belong.

I am an Okta Certified Professional with a published customer case study, and I ship production automation—not just designs. I built and deployed an MCP server that adds SIEM-like analysis to Okta syslog, manage an Iru (Kandji) MDM macOS/iOS fleet with zero-touch provisioning, and support SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA production enforcement through evidence gathering and control validation.

Designed webhook-driven, API-first integrations that eliminated 90% of manual data-sync work and supported Okta compliance outcomes (100% MFA, 70–80% monthly ticket deflection; 2.6M+ workflow events per quarter).
