AI-native IT operations · systems · identity
I design calmer identity, endpoint, SaaS, and security operations for growing teams—using thoughtful automation, clear documentation, and AI-assisted tools where they genuinely help.
Selected work
A PowerShell-based system transformed a multi-hour, ten-step evidence-gathering process into an on-demand workflow.
Slack, Okta Workflows, Zapier, and Notion worked together to reduce coordination and documentation overhead during defined incident scenarios.
Okta Device Trust, Kandji, and access-request workflows created a more secure and understandable path to employee access.
The operating pattern
My best work sits where people, security, and systems meet. I look for repeated effort, unclear ownership, and brittle handoffs—then turn them into understandable, reusable operations.
Map the real process, including the awkward exceptions.
Secure defaults, visible decisions, and a human fallback.
Documentation and observability are part of the system.
