Summary
Trevor Vass is a Staff Cybersecurity Software Engineer with 11 years of focused experience designing and delivering identity and access management systems across enterprises, academia, and startups. He blends systems engineering, software development, and technical leadership to take complex IAM projects from discovery through production, most recently architecting identity platforms at General Motors and modernizing SailPoint-backed IGA for UC Davis’s ~300K accounts. A pragmatic automator, he authors internal and open-source C#/.NET libraries (founder of Galactic API) to simplify Active Directory and identity operations and drive reliable, repeatable deployments. Trevor favors flexible, resource-aware designs that balance technical merit with organizational constraints, and he has a track record of replacing legacy systems, standardizing dev stacks, and creating IAM APIs. Based in Rocklin, CA, he pairs an M.S. in Media Arts and Technology with deep hands-on experience in hybrid multi-cloud and on-prem identity architectures. An uncommon thread through his career is his early background in game and media development, which contributes to a creative, systems-oriented approach to solving identity problems.
