PROFILE

Adam Carheden

Worked on gravitational/teleport, focusing on backend and API development using Go, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Delivered a handler-based VNet configuration lifecycle, introducing create, update, and get endpoints while removing legacy delete flows to improve maintainability and safety. Enhanced SAML IdP Service Provider support across Kubernetes operator and Terraform provider, enabling robust configuration and management for enterprise authentication. Refactored external audit storage to a safer, non-singleton handler pattern, reducing operational risk. Addressed documentation accuracy and fixed SAML ACS URL handling for IdP-initiated logins. Emphasized code quality, configuration consistency, and security, supporting future client-tools integration and automated tooling enhancements.
