Identity & Access Management

Github

I've spent the last several years deep in the weeds of identity and access management, building and scaling secure access for healthcare and enterprise clients. I specialise in Okta, SAML/OIDC, and joiner‑mover‑leaver processes, designing and automating workflows and keeping PHI off the black market. I like to joke that if I do my job right, nobody notices, users just log in smoothly and auditors smile.

For my next adventure, I'm looking for a mid‑level IAM role that lets me deepen my Okta expertise, drive access reviews and lifecycle projects, and work in a mature, collaborative environment. I’m happiest in remote or hybrid settings where I can focus on solving problems, automating the boring stuff, and partnering with teams to make security feel seamless.
