What I'm looking for

I seek a technical IAM role focused on SailPoint, cloud IAM, and PAM where I can automate identity lifecycles, strengthen Zero-Trust controls, and support compliance in regulated environments.

I am an IAM SailPoint Engineer with 4+ years building enterprise-grade IdentityIQ/IdentityNow solutions and automating Joiner-Mover-Leaver lifecycle processes across hybrid cloud environments.

I have integrated Okta SSO/MFA, CyberArk PAM, Splunk SIEM, and cloud IAM controls to reduce manual provisioning by up to 55%, close audit gaps, and strengthen Zero-Trust posture for banking and enterprise customers.

My hands-on work includes RBAC/ABAC design, access certifications, SoD enforcement, and connector/configuration of SailPoint for AD, Azure AD, AWS, and 15+ SaaS/on-prem apps—delivering faster onboarding and improved attestation accuracy.

I collaborate with DevSecOps and cloud teams to enforce least-privilege access, automate workflows with Python/PowerShell/REST APIs, and maintain compliance with SOX, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements.
