What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my IAM expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative security solutions and career growth.

I am an IT and Cyber Security professional with over 17 years of experience, specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM). My expertise spans various domains, including Healthcare, Banking, Telecom, and Logistics. I have successfully implemented enterprise-level IAM solutions, focusing on Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) using tools such as ForgeRock and SailPoint IdentityIQ.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong understanding of identity lifecycle management, including provisioning, de-provisioning, and access reviews. I have hands-on experience with SAML SSO integrations and protocols like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect 2.0. My technical skills include installing and configuring IAM environments, developing OIM plugins, and integrating applications with IAM systems. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of leading projects that enhance security and streamline user experiences.
