Summary
Patrick Lee is a Senior Systems Engineer specializing in identity and collaboration with 11 years of experience modernizing IAM and IT lifecycle processes across high-growth Bay Area companies. He’s been the subject-matter expert for Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, Duo, and SailPoint, designing automated joiner/leaver/transfer workflows and implementing controls for SOX and FedRAMP compliance. Patrick has a track record of shipping pragmatic automation—Okta Workflows, JIT access, FastPass device trust, and custom Slack/PowerShell workflows—to reduce manual toil and improve security posture. He mentors junior engineers and collaborates closely with security teams to turn compliance requirements into low-friction operational processes. Former roles at Slack, Confluent, Chainalysis, and Verkada reflect deep experience in SaaS identity at scale, while earlier work shows strong scripting and virtualization chops. Outside work he’s a self-proclaimed “lover of sandwiches,” hinting at a practical, human touch to his engineering approach.
