Spearheaded I AM automation using Python, Terraform, and GitHub Actions, streamlining provisioning, de-provisioning, and access review workflows—reducing manual effort by 40%. Designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines to deploy IAM policies, audit configurations, and security guardrails using GitHub Actions. Built and maintained Terraform modules for reusable infrastructure components (IAM, VPC, S3); implementing remote state management via S3 and DynamoDB for collaboration and locking. Integrated SSO solutions (SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect) across internal and third-party applications to enhance user access control and security posture. Enforced cloud security standards using policy-as-code with MFA, RBAC, and least-privilege models. Collaborated with security, DevOps, and compliance teams to establish infrastructure governance aligned with ISO and SOC2 controls. Utilized CloudWatch Logs, IAM Access Analyzer, and VPC Flow Logs to troubleshoot and monitor access-related issues in real t
