IAM SailPoint Engineer driving automated provisioning, RBAC design, and Zero-Trust security for regulated enterprises.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an IAM SailPoint Engineer with 4+ years delivering IdentityIQ/IdentityNow solutions, RBAC design, and Joiner-Mover-Leaver automation across hybrid cloud environments. I have integrated Okta SSO/MFA, CyberArk PAM, and SIEM platforms to reduce manual provisioning by up to 55% and close regulatory audit gaps for banking and enterprise clients.
I partner with DevSecOps and engineering teams to extend least-privilege and Zero-Trust controls across Azure and AWS, design access certification and SoD policies, and automate provisioning with Python and PowerShell. My work has improved compliance (SOX, PCI-DSS, SOC 2), reduced incident response times, and streamlined large-scale identity lifecycles.
