About

I am an Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Banking Technology professional with approximately 9 years of experience navigating highly regulated enterprise environments. Having spent 6 years at Wells Fargo and 3 years at Oracle, I specialize in bridging the gap between security architecture and operational infrastructure.

My core focus lies in designing Zero Trust security architectures, enforcing Defense in Depth, and automating access lifecycle management across Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and Teradata platforms. Beyond IAM, I actively engineer and deploy cloud-hosted, containerized full-stack applications using modern Python and DevOps methodologies.
