Gopal Manchella

In my current role, I lead and champion end-to-end solutions architecture and the full application lifecycle, with a focus on modernizing legacy systems and driving cloud migration strategies. I specialize in the development of self-service tools, ensuring compliance through internal and external audits, Fed MRA remediation, and vulnerability management.

My work emphasizes risk reduction, access control enforcement, and identity lifecycle management, including Identity & Access Management (IAM), multifactor authentication (MFA), and web security. I manage and maintain business continuity through robust disaster recovery planning, incident resolution, and problem management.

I have extensive experience in data architecture—including data modeling, large-scale data manipulation, validation, reporting, data quality, and protection. I also design and secure RESTful APIs, and oversee application performance, downtime management, and troubleshooting using tools such as Kibana.

My technical toolkit includes LDAP, SiteMinder, Ping Identity Suite (PingID, PingSync, PingFederate), Authentication Hub, OIDC, SSO, batch processing, secure file sharing, CI/CD pipelines, and transactional messaging systems. I also have hands-on expertise in SailPoint certification processes and ensuring the delivery of highly available, scalable web applications.
