IAM architect and systems engineer with 4+ years turning identity chaos into automated, secure, and scalable infrastructure. From 50 to 700 employees — I've built the foundation.
Every capability designed to reduce friction, enforce security, and create operational clarity at scale.
Full Okta ownership — SSO, MFA, authentication policies, SCIM provisioning, and lifecycle management. Architecting RBAC strategies across the entire stack.
Okta Workflows, HRIS-to-SaaS integrations via SCIM and API. Automated onboarding, offboarding, and everything in between — eliminating manual touchpoints.
Enterprise MDM deployment across distributed teams. Jamf-certified with deep endpoint management experience across macOS and cross-platform environments.
SOC 2 compliance alignment, Zero Trust implementation, 1Password enterprise deployment, and centralized credential management for 600+ users.
Google Workspace administration, Slack governance, Zoom management, and cross-platform integration — owning the full SaaS ecosystem end-to-end.
Identity integration strategy for mergers and acquisitions. Bridging identity systems, migrating directories, and unifying access across organizations.
Focused on high-growth environments where systems need to be reliable before they need to be fast.
Measurable outcomes from building systems that compound over time.
Architected identity infrastructure that supported growth from 50 to 700 employees without adding headcount to the IAM function.
Rolled out enterprise credential management across distributed teams spanning two continents with zero-touch provisioning.
End-to-end automated onboarding and offboarding via Okta Workflows — from HRIS trigger to full SaaS provisioning with no manual steps.
Bridged the gap between security compliance requirements and day-to-day operational efficiency through centralized identity controls.
Absorbed multiple acquired companies into a unified Okta and MDM stack — migrating off JumpCloud, standing up Intune, and consolidating identity into one tenant.
Tools and platforms I've deployed, managed, and integrated at scale.
Because the path doesn't have to be perfect — it just has to keep moving forward.
Kevin Garlepp and I didn't take the traditional path. We started at NOVA, worked part-time, transferred to George Mason, and graduated with our degrees. That detour taught us more than any straight line could have.
We created the TKG Technology Scholarship for students in that same position — the ones with drive and determination, not necessarily a perfect GPA. Sometimes all it takes is a little support to get started.
For students attending NOVA to pursue a technology degree
For students with determination and passion — not just perfect transcripts
Support for those who need a little push to get started on their path
"Good infrastructure is invisible. I build systems that people rely on without ever having to think about — secure by default, automated by design, and built to outlast the sprint that shipped them."
Open to opportunities where systems thinking, automation, and operational ownership create real leverage.
