Ryan Higdon

Principal Software Engineer — Identity & Access Management

About

20+ years building and operating distributed systems at scale. For the past four years I've led Authentication & Authorization infrastructure at Elsevier, designing the IAM platform that secures enterprise healthcare applications for millions of users worldwide.

My focus is on making the secure path the easy path — building identity systems and paved roads that engineering teams actually want to use, rather than security controls imposed from the outside.
