About Me
Hi, I’m Gary.
I work in the area of cybersecurity and identity, with a particular focus on Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM).
My work involves operating and improving identity platforms, supporting applications that depend on identity services, and thinking about how authentication, authorization, security, reliability, and user experience come together.
I’m particularly interested in:
- Cybersecurity
- CIAM
- Identity & Access Management
- Ping Identity
- FIDO2 & Passkeys
- Authentication & Authorization
- AI and developer tools
- Security operations and observability
About This Blog
I started this blog as a place to document things I learn, problems I encounter, and ideas that I find interesting.
Some posts will be practical notes from real-world technology and security work. Others may be explorations of new technologies, tools, or concepts.
The goal is simple:
Learn something → understand it → write it down → share it.
I also believe that writing is one of the best ways to discover what you actually understand — and what you don’t.
