Bilingual IAM & Security Engineer specializing in Zero Trust, SIEM monitoring, and automated least-privilege access governance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual IAM and Security Engineer with over four years managing identity lifecycles, access governance, and Zero Trust architectures. I’m certified in Security+ and Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), and I bring hands-on expertise with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Active Directory.
I design and enforce least-privilege access using RBAC/PAM and Conditional Access policies, and I automate provisioning workflows to improve auditing, reviews, and compliance. I’ve led secure SSO and MFA deployments and supported enterprise authentication and access across complex environments.
In my recent roles, I’ve managed Zero Trust access with Zscaler ZPA/ZIA, monitored and enforced policies with SIEM tools like QRadar and Splunk, and resolved high-priority network security incidents. I focus on continuous monitoring, fast remediation, and pragmatic security that keeps enterprise access reliable and protected.
