Identity-First Security
for the Agentic AI Era

Robert is a Global Product Architect at IBM Verify with over a decade at IBM spanning cloud security consulting, identity architecture, and technical sales engineering. He specializes in zero-trust architecture, workload identity, and enterprise IAM — with deep hands-on expertise across the protocols that underpin modern identity: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, FIDO2, SCIM, SPIFFE, CAEP/SSF, Token Exchange, and Rich Authorization Requests.

His current work focuses on the intersection of agentic AI and identity security — building and documenting architectures that bring mutual zero trust, secretless infrastructure, and continuous authorization to autonomous AI systems. He architects solutions using IBM Verify, HashiCorp Vault, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and the Shared Signals Framework, and writes about what he builds at iamidentity.ai.
