About Me

In the world of enterprise infrastructure, "excitement" usually means outage calls at 3 AM. My goal is to build authentication systems so robust that major architecture shifts—like moving 250+ apps from SiteMinder to PingFederate—go unnoticed by the end user until they realize everything just works faster.

With over 15 years in Java/Spring Boot development, I specialize in the holistic developer and user experience of IAM. I don't just swap backends; I build self-service portals (like for Duo enrollment) that reduce helpdesk load and drive adoption.

Currently, I’m working on the next frontier of "Stronger Assurance": implementing identity proofing with PingOne Verify and orchestrating secure, passwordless journeys with PingOne MFA.
