About Pavan Kumar

I am a seasoned IAM Engineer with 6 years of expertise in leading, designing, developing, and implementing enterprise-wide security applications. My technical proficiency spans across the full Ping Identity Stack (Ping Federate, Ping Access, Ping Central, Ping ID, Ping Directory), Sail point, CA Site Minder, Radiant Logic, and CyberArk. I have successfully upgraded Ping Federate from versions 6.0 to 10.x and deployed Ping Central on Docker. My experience includes implementing SSO and Federation solutions using SAML 2.0, OAuth, and OpenID Connect, configuring various Web & Application servers (IIS, IBM IHS, Apache, Sun One, WebLogic, WebSphere), and managing cloud-based environments on AWS and Azure. I excel in troubleshooting, IAM logs analysis, and providing IAM support and project coordination across various teams, ensuring robust security and streamlined access management.
