• Experience with derived credential solutions, mobile authentication, and CBA token deployments.
• Proficiency with automation and scripting, including PowerShell, REST API integrations, and SOAP‑based solutions.
• Ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex PKI and credentialing issues with minimal direction.
• Strong communication skills and ability to provide strong leadership on modernization efforts.
