Starting My Blogging Journey: Reflections on Identity

After spending over three decades in technology, specialising in Identity and Access Management (IAM) for government and enterprise sectors, I’ve realised that some of the most powerful lessons come from real-world challenges rather than just frameworks and theories.

I started my career in software development and integration, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to lead the architecture, design, and implementation of complex IAM solutions for various organisations, including large-scale citizen identity platforms and sector-specific CIAM solutions. These experiences have shaped my belief that identity is not just about technology – it is about trust, usability, and security working seamlessly for people and organisations.

Today, I am launching this blog to share my thoughts, practical insights, and lessons learned in IAM. I plan to write regularly on topics including:

• The evolving landscape of IAM and CIAM

• Practical approaches to designing scalable identity solutions

• My perspectives on decentralised identity and verifiable credentials

• Lessons from large IAM implementations and integrations

• Emerging trends shaping the future of digital identity

My upcoming post will focus on Decentralised Identity, where I will share how this paradigm shift could redefine the way individuals and organisations interact digitally, while addressing trust, privacy, and usability concerns.

If you are passionate about IAM, security architecture, or simply curious about how digital identity shapes the world around us, I invite you to follow along, share your thoughts, and engage in these conversations with me.

Thank you for reading, and see you in my next post.
