IDENTITY GOVERNANCE / TECH PRESCIENT

Enterprise identity, connected.

Leading connector development and client delivery for Identity Confluence. I lead a team of three engineers across connector development, backend engineering and client delivery. My work connects enterprise applications to identity lifecycle and access review workflows.

Integrations across the enterprise

Built 15+ connectors, including SAP S/4HANA using OData, SAP IAS using SCIM 2.0 and OAuth2, Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, CyberArk, FortiManager using JSON-RPC, Zscaler ZIA, Zscaler Identity, Trend Micro XDR and Motadata.

Client implementation and governance

Delivered 5+ enterprise implementations for manufacturing and retail clients. My responsibilities covered requirements, Joiner–Mover–Leaver policies, segregation-of-duties policies, role catalogs, demonstrations and go-live support.

BACKEND / DATA PLATFORMS

Building the foundations.

Led a data ingestion framework spanning connectors, transformation, validation and error handling. Led a team of four building connectors and adapters for a centralized data platform, with transformation, validation and error handling.

API performance and storage

Optimized Flask and SQLAlchemy APIs by replacing N+1 query patterns with bulk fetching, reducing redundant database queries and improving response times. Evaluated S3-compatible storage and migrated Identity Confluence’s on-premises storage from MinIO to SeaweedFS, covering licensing and security review.

Product delivery

Led backend work on a Databricks-based data platform and client products including Streetlii, Advocat and 7th Gear, contributing as a technical lead and DevOps engineer.

CLOUD / DISTRIBUTED WORKFLOWS

From workflow to production.

Built long-running workflows with Azure Durable Functions and Service Bus at Globant. Integrated Azure workflows with external applications through Service Bus.

Application delivery on AWS

At Raykor, deployed and operated services on AWS EC2 with GitLab CI/CD, CloudWatch and Lambda. Built job schedulers for resource-intensive database imports and exports using Node.js scheduling and Linux cron.

02 / EXPERIENCE

Hands-on engineer.
Accountable lead.

I work across architecture, implementation and delivery, leading small teams and partnering directly with clients to take systems into production.

My work combines technical decisions with delivery ownership: gathering requirements, designing features, coordinating engineers, communicating with clients and supporting go-live. I stay involved in implementation while helping the team move toward a shared solution.
