ABOUT VON
Hey there! I'm Von, a seasoned security professional with 11+ years of IT and security operations experience. My current expertise lies in Identity & Access Management (IAM), with a focus on access management, adaptive authentication, and user lifecycle management.
While my love for tech runs deep, it’s not my only passion. I’m a devoted chai and hojicha enthusiast—I can’t start my day without them! Beyond security, I enjoy traveling, spending quality time with family, diving into self-development, meditating, exploring new restaurants and food trucks, learning, and, of course, having a good laugh.
I’m fully committed to growing in my field, actively pursuing certifications, hands-on projects, and labs to sharpen my expertise in IAM and Cloud Security Engineering. Always learning, always evolving—both in work and life!
