Modern Identity Management

In my career I've had experience with a wide assortment of authentication / identity solutions. Some of these solutions were bespoke, but many used or extended open source or commercial products. Build versus buy is often a question that comes up in technology, when it comes to identity - buy.

I've developed a federated identity gateway leveraging Identity Server used by logistics providers, multi-billion dollar shipping lines, and distributors to authenticate to the MatchBox Exchange platform.

I also have experience with identity providers like Entra ID, Kinde, and Auth0.

For one client I also developed a SCIM solution to allow for the automatic provisioning of users from their clients' upstream Entra ID providers.

All of this has given me a deep understanding of the authentication pipeline and many of the OAuth 2.0 flows and the security considerations you need to have when designing authentication and access management in an application.
