Hi, I’m William “Jay” Klinkowsky — an Identity & Access Management leader, architect, and automation-driven problem solver with more than 15 years of hands-on experience building hybrid identity systems, Zero Trust frameworks, and large-scale IAM transformations.
I founded Everyday Identity to bring clarity, practical guidance, and real-world IAM expertise to IT professionals, security teams, and everyday users who want to understand how identity truly works behind the scenes.
My focus areas include:
- Zero Trust architecture & identity governance
- Okta and Entra ID (Azure AD) strategy, migration, and modernization
- Automation using PowerShell, Python, n8n, and workflow engines
- SCIM, lifecycle management, access requests, and JML flows
- IAM program leadership, architecture, and cross-platform federation
- Content creation, education, and thought leadership in the IAM space
⚔️ My IAM Career Quest (Visual Resume)
A career journey rarely follows a straight line — and mine certainly didn’t.
