I design and govern the identity and security architectures that let large, regulated organizations move fast without moving carelessly. Over 15+ years, that’s meant leading SailPoint IdentityIQ and Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) deployments for the Government of Canada and financial institutions, architecting cloud security across GCP, AWS, and Azure, and running SOC 2 remediation programs from gap assessment through evidence collection.
I hold CISSP-ISSAP (security architecture), CCSP, and a Secret-level clearance from the Government of Canada — and I’ve spent that career translating business and compliance requirements (SA&A, BNS, HLA/DDS) into architectures that actually get built, pass audit, and hold up in production.
Where I add the most value: Identity Governance & Administration (SailPoint IdentityIQ, MIM, Ping Identity/ForgeRock, CyberArk, JML automation); Cloud Security Architecture (GCP, AWS, Azure, DevSecOps); Government & Regulated Sector Security (SA&A, federal security architecture); SOC 2 & Compliance Remediation (Microsoft 365/Entra ID hardening, audit-ready evidence).
Outside of client work, I’m an advocate for Free and Open Source Software and enjoy mentoring engineers moving into security.
