The 6 Pillars of IT Leadership

Identity, endpoint, security/compliance, enterprise systems, AI tool governance, and cloud — every pillar, every integration, every failure mode.

200 Interview Q&A

Deep-dive model answers across IAM, endpoint+security, compliance, IT ops/leadership, and AI governance — anchored to real production experience.

Okta + Jamf, Hands-On

Zero-touch enrollment, SCIM provisioning, adaptive MFA, device trust, and the Jamf/Okta API Python scripts that close the two critical gaps.

SOC 2 & Compliance

SOC 2 Type II from scratch, CC1–CC9 control families, Vanta vs Drata, GDPR/CCPA, HIPAA, and FedRAMP — the content that unlocks enterprise revenue.

AI Tool Governance

The 2026 differentiator: API key management, shadow AI detection, AI spend monitoring, and sub-processor registers — built on a real n8n + Claude platform.

Systems Design + Path to CIO

10 system-design use cases, 5 portfolio projects, and the VP IT → CIO → Chief AI Officer trajectory with comp progression.
