Currently a Senior Technical Program Manager at Amazon working in Identity, I have over 25 years in the IT Industry, 22 of which I spent at Microsoft in various roles, the last being Senior Program Manager Azure Identity. I’ve I worked on the following feature areas such as authentication( Windows Hello for Business), PKI,  and cryptography. Additional security related areas where I collaborate include Modern Authentication, TLS, and FIPS validation.

Prior to joining Operating Systems Security,  I was a Technical Writer for Group Policy and a Technical Lead within Microsoft Directory Services escalation support where I assisted Microsoft Premier customers with authentication, authorization, PKI, Group Policy and User Profile design and troubleshooting.

I have authored several TechNet articles and the Understand and Troubleshoot Dynamic Access Control in Windows Server 2012 whitepaper. I was a contributing author to Introducing Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Resource Kit, Windows 7 Resource Kit, Windows IT Pro Magazine, Ask Directory Services TechNet Blog, and the Group Policy TechNet Blog; and a Technical reviewer to Microsoft Windows Group Policy Guide and Group Policy, Profiles, and IntelliMirror for Windows 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

I graduated Suma Cum Laude with a degree in Information Systems and a Graduate degree from Strayer University, and I am proud owner of six Siberian Huskies (Kolya is the cute white boy in the picture with me).
