Engineering Leader · Identity Architect
Riddhi Mohan Sharma
I've built identity infrastructure for 3.5 million credentialed healthcare professionals — across 12+ acquisitions, across US and EU jurisdictions, on a single governance layer that didn't break when the organisations changed around it.
That is an unusual thing to have done. Most identity work is either compliance-driven and slow, or velocity-driven and brittle. The 12+-acquisition number is the proof that neither has to be true.
I'm now applying the same architecture principles to AI — specifically to the problem of governing AI agents that don't have identities in any conventional sense.

Faster Onboarding
Building governance systems that regulators trust and engineers can actually ship inside.
Expertise.
AI Architectures
AI in regulated industries fails when governance is bolted on after deployment. I design it into the architecture before the first model is trained.
Global Identity (SSO/IAM)
3.5M+ credentialed healthcare professionals across US, EU, and international markets — on a single identity layer that doesn't break when jurisdictions disagree.
M&A Integration
12+ acquisitions integrated. Zero custom integration builds. Identity architecture that treats M&A as a repeatable operation, not a one-off crisis.
Standards & Governance
Contributing to IEEE P2933 (Clinical IoT Trust) and cross-body alignment across CSA, NIST, WHO, and the EU AI Act — focused on the identity layer for AI agents operating across sovereign healthcare jurisdictions.
Product Strategy
Engineering that ships features is common. Engineering that moves a revenue line is rare. That's the only version I build.

Ask Me About
- How to turn AI governance from a compliance cost into a shipping velocity advantage — and why most enterprises are building this backwards.
- Why M&A identity integration fails in year two, not week one — and the repeatable architecture that stops the bleed.
Let's Connect
If your AI strategy doesn't include an identity layer, you're not governing AI — you're gambling on it. That's the conversation I want to have.
