Junior Cybersecurity & Identity Access Management Consultant

Summary

I hold hands-on experience as a Junior Cybersecurity Consultant specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM), with practical expertise in tools such as Aveksa, Oracle Internet Directory (OID), Active Directory, Remedy, and ServiceNow. My responsibilities include managing access review campaigns, resolving SSO/OTP authentication issues, and automating IAM workflows using Java, LDAP, and API integrations.

I’ve been actively involved in projects that automate access request forms and fulfillment processes, working directly with Active Directory for provisioning and group-based access control. My technical background includes Java, C#, SQL, and database design, along with strong experience in enterprise ticketing systems, user support, and cross-functional collaboration.

This diverse skill set enables me to contribute effectively in environments focused on security, access governance, infrastructure support, and system development.
