Profile: https://flows.cv/kylepeterson

Engineering leader driven to solve complex technical challenges. I am a founding engineer on the Okta Identity Governance (OIG) team, helping build and scale the product from a pre-revenue concept to a business generating over $100M in ARR and serving 1,300+ enterprise customers.

My journey with OIG began when Okta acquired my previous employer askSpoke to become the Access Requests portion of OIG. As the most senior engineer on the acquired team, I led the complex technical integration of the atSpoke product into the Okta ecosystem. This was a large cross-functional effort that involved working with management to define product and technical requirements for the initial release, redesigning the application's infrastructure to be more modern and horizontally scalable using Terraform, improving our security posture to meet Okta's rigorous standards, and integrating with Okta's core enterprise systems across support, monitoring, legal, and compliance.

I draw my workplace motivation from solving hard problems that have a tangible impact on the organization or the world. I'm always looking for the next challenge where I can best apply my experience and skills. My technical toolkit includes Python, Go, TypeScript, React, Kubernetes, PyTorch, Terraform, and Node.js.
