IAM Engineer with a passion for cybersecurity and a commitment to empowering minorities in the tech industry. My journey as a Black professional in tech has been one of continuous growth and opportunity, fueled by the support of my strong LinkedIn network and mentors who have guided me along the way. I've had the privilege of working for two Fortune 500 companies, CVS Health and Wells Fargo, where I've honed my expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM), leveraging technologies like Active Directory, Azure AD, Okta, CyberArk, BeyondTrust, PAM, MFA, LDAP, VPN, RBAC, provisioning, and de-provisioning user and non-user identities. My unwavering focus is on continuously improving my skills as an IAM Analyst/Engineer, expanding my knowledge of SAML, OAuth, OIDC, RBAC, LDAP, JSON, and Federation. Cybersecurity has not only transformed my professional life but has also ignited a deep-seated passion to empower other minorities to pursue careers in this ever-evolving field. During my tenure as a IAM Engineer at Alliance InfoSystems, I played a pivotal role in supporting our client, Behavioral Innovations, one of America's 5000 fastest-growing private companies of 2023. This experience ignited my passion for IAM, allowing me to delve into technologies like Azure AD, SharePoint, Intune Company Portal, CISCO Meraki, and Barracuda Spam Firewall. My aspirations extend beyond technical expertise; I envision myself as a leader in the cybersecurity community, actively educating and mentoring aspiring cybersecurity professionals, particularly in the IAM domain. I am committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive cybersecurity landscape, where individuals from all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to a more secure digital world.
