I am an Information Security Professional with 7+ years of hands‑on experience in Identity & Access Management (IAM), Data Privacy, and Access Governance, backed by a Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Information Technology. As an IAM Subject Matter Expert (SME), I have supported organizations in strengthening identity security, optimizing access processes, and driving operational excellence across IT and security functions. My work style is proactive, analytical, and detail‑oriented, with a strong focus on automation, governance, and continuous improvement.
My goal is to support forward‑thinking organizations in strengthening identity security and building resilient, scalable IAM frameworks.

My Top Skills

I have strong expertise in Identity & Access Management (IAM), supporting large enterprise environments through accurate identity lifecycle management and compliance‑driven access controls. My skills include administering Okta for SSO, MFA, and lifecycle automation across hundreds of applications and managing large‑scale identity populations. I also work with SailPoint to monitor provisioning workflows, resolve identity issues, and improve entitlement accuracy. In addition, I manage Active Directory user and group administration across multi‑domain environments and use PowerShell automation to streamline IAM tasks and enhance operational efficiency.
