What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a CyberArk-focused IAM/PAM role where I can deliver least-privilege, audit-ready access controls, integrate secure authentication and identity models, and improve operational stability through incident-ready, cross-team execution.

I am an experienced identity and access management (IAM) engineer with over 5 years of hand-on experience in Identity security, systems engineering, and CyberArk PAM tools. I’m a CyberArk Certified Defender and a Harvard/edX Certified Cybersecurity professional, and I’ve supported Fortune 300/500 organizations across automotive and healthcare to strengthen security posture and improve operational efficiency.

I implement and administer password vaulting, rotation, and reconciliation workflows using CyberArk CPM, while maintaining least-privilege access and audit requirements. I manage IAM infrastructure components (Vault, PVWA, CPM, and PSM), integrate CyberArk into existing environments, and translate security requirements into practical PAM solutions. I also build identity and access models with Microsoft Identity technologies, Active Directory, and Azure AD using RBAC/ABAC and secure authentication flows to enforce compliance with minimal access friction.
