# Korthcore Korthcore provides expert Identity and Access Management consulting. Precision-built IAM solutions for Australian businesses. Infrastructure and identity has been my career focus for nearly two decades, most of it deep in the Microsoft ecosystem: scripting automation in PowerShell, managing identity in Active Directory and Entra ID, and a solid chunk of infrastructure work in between. Korthcore is where that work continues. What I care about is identity that holds up. Structured properly, governed from the start, documented well enough to outlast whoever built it. I work the way I wish more of it was done, and I hold my own environment to that same standard. Do it once, do it right. That is the whole idea. ## Company - Entity: Korthcore Pty Ltd - Australian Business Number: ABN 26 701 237 505 - Website: https://korthcore.com ## Core Pages - [Home](https://korthcore.com) - [Blog](https://korthcore.com/blog) - [RSS feed](https://korthcore.com/blog/feed/rss) - [Atom feed](https://korthcore.com/blog/feed/atom) - [Sitemap](https://korthcore.com/sitemap.xml) ## Blog - [Entra ID Authentication Deadlines](https://korthcore.com/blog/iam/entra-id-authentication-deadlines): Are you prepared?

(IAM, 2026-07-10) - [From Writing Code to Directing It](https://korthcore.com/blog/agentic-ai/from-writing-code-to-directing-it): I spent years handwriting Laravel and WordPress sites (gross, I know). For Korthcore's own site I ran an experiment: direct Claude Code throughout the whole build, blank repo to v1.0.0, and find out what it was actually capable of. This is the first in a series on how that went. (Agentic AI, 2026-06-27) - [Maester - From Zero to Hero](https://korthcore.com/blog/iam/maester-zero-to-hero): Do it once, do it right.
