Overview
As the Design Manager for authentication services, I was responsible for defining, leading and managing initiatives across existing and new commercial applications and vendors. As part of the larger Strategic Platforms team we were focused on developing and maintaining the shared infrastructure used across the Commercial Bank.
Navigating Complexity
To build up to our Centralized Commercial Identity Platform I defined a “lean” approach I labeled as “Skinny Core” based on a framework for building scaleable modern enterprise products. The strategy was to help the identity team build the most impactful and essential components and functionality that would provide the minimum identity needs across the Commercial Bank ecosystem.
