Throughout his career, Harsha has played a critical role in securing enterprise applications, leading IAM initiatives, and optimizing authentication infrastructures. Currently serving as a Senior Manager (Technical & Delivery Lead) at JPMorgan Chase, he spearheads the Identity & Access Management (IAM) domain, specializing in Inbound/Outbound Federation, Application Security Token Service, and Authentication Orchestration. He has successfully migrated SSO infrastructures from on-premises to cloud environments like AWS, transitioned HR applications from SiteMinder to PingFederate, and integrated Ping with ForgeRock and Transmit Security for adaptive authentication solutions. His expertise includes designing and developing custom inbound federation adapters, custom data stores, and Policy Contract Validators (PCVs) for PingFederate. Harsha has led strategic IAM deployments, including the expansion of PingFederate clusters, implementing high-availability architecture, and automating deployments and upgrades across multiple servers and clusters. His deep technical knowledge spans OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), JWT Bearer Assertion Grant, and various OAuth grant types, enabling seamless authentication and access management for external and internal clients. He has designed and implemented custom solutions for SiteMinder-to-OAuth token translation, legacy IDP-to-OAuth integration, and cross-domain single sign-on within enterprises. His expertise in OAuth 2-legged and 3-legged flows has significantly enhanced API security and authentication mechanisms. Prior to JPMorgan Chase, Harsha worked at Capital One as a Senior Software Engineer/Technical Lead, where he played a key role in migrating legacy systems like GetAccess to PingFederate, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) using PingID and FIDO2, and leading the migration of identity infrastructure to AWS. He successfully onboarded over 500 applications to PingFederate, facilitating the adoption of modern authentication protocols such as SAML, OAuth, and OIDC. His technical leadership extended to configuring and optimizing IAM products like PingFederate, PingAccess, and PingID while managing a skilled team focused on delivering scalable and secure identity solutions. Before Capital One, Harsha worked as a Senior System Administrator at IQsoft, where he gained hands-on experience in system administration, automation, and security best practices. He holds prestigious certifications, including AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), further solidifying his expertise in cloud security, IT governance, and risk management. Beyond his professional work, Harsha contributes to academia as a researcher on Academia.edu, focusing on science and technology advancements. His technical skills include expertise in UNIX shell scripting, WLST scripting, WebLogic administration, performance tuning, and troubleshooting issues related to memory leaks, JVM heap size adjustments, and garbage collection optimization.
