Howdy, I'm Mike Waggoner.

I love riding bikes and making internet.

Luckily, I'm open to new work!

I'm focusing on projects in python, geosocial, digital identity, digital civics, and watersheds.

Connect on socials at LinkedIn, GitHub, Mastodon , or email [email protected] .

Let's spend 30 minutes discovering a new idea! Schedule a time and we can chat about making excellent internet or anything at all.

I recently enjoyed 10 years with The Walt Disney Company as technical leader and Staff Solutions Architect. I worked closely with Enterprise Architecture and Security teams to set standards and provide services to a global workforce. A few favorite projects include:

  • A custom employee directory (~1 million records from multiple HCMs including Workday and SAP)
  • Custom knowledge management systems ( e.g. reference cloud architectures, theme park employee resources, legal brand guidelines, Disney archives, infosec standards)
  • Consulting on identity and access management systems from on-prem CA SiteMinder (2014) to Okta and SailPoint (2024) integrating SAML, OAuth, AWS Cognito, etc.

Specialities and interests

  • Reducing complexity
  • Web architectures with cloud and SaaS providers (serverless, AWS, CloudFlare, Netlify)
  • Business requirements definition and solution architecture
  • Identity - OAuth, SAML, DID, Shared Signals
  • http - caching, security
