What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead IAM and access governance work—focusing on secure provisioning, RBAC/compliance, and automation that improves efficiency—while partnering with global teams to meet SLAs and strengthen audit readiness.

I’m a results-driven Technical Lead with 8+ years of experience in Identity & Access Management (IAM), network infrastructure, and enterprise application support. I specialize in SailPoint IdentityIQ—especially provisioning, RBAC, and compliance—while leading IAM operations like user lifecycle management and access governance.

I’m known for improving audit readiness and operational efficiency by automating manual access processes and strengthening access control compliance to reduce audit observations. I also support SSO and MFA integrations, manage incidents and access requests through ServiceNow with SLA adherence, and create SOPs that standardize processes across global environments.
