Bio

Michael is a Senior Information Security Engineer with at least 10 years of experience in information technology, specializing in cybersecurity engineering, architecture, and risk analysis. He provides cybersecurity consulting services through NoSec Cybersecurity Consulting, helping organizations design, build, and operate secure, scalable IT systems.

Professionally, Michael focuses on secure software architecture, cloud-native platforms, and DevSecOps practices, with particular experience supporting digital banking applications and high-growth technology teams. His work includes designing clean, maintainable application architectures; implementing secure CI/CD pipelines; and performing in-depth security analysis across large-scale, high-throughput data environments operating in hybrid and cloud infrastructures.

In prior security engineering roles, Michael led container and Kubernetes security programs across enterprise environments, where he identified and remediated thousands of high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities. He has implemented cloud-native security best practices across hundreds of Kubernetes clusters, improving security posture, resilience, and compliance alignment.

In addition to his consulting and architecture work, Michael is the founder of FreQuid ID Solutions, where he leads research and development on next-generation digital identity technologies. This work explores alternatives to traditional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), including biometric- and signal-based identity concepts, distributed ledger–backed identity records, and modern cryptographic communication models. The research is focused on long-term improvements to identity security, privacy, and decentralization.

Michael works closely with cross-functional engineering, product, and leadership teams to strengthen organizational security programs while supporting compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. His interests include encryption, data protection, identity and access management (IAM), blockchain systems, and emerging distributed technologies.
