Michael Abboud is a Security Engineer II based in Pittsburgh with nine years of experience blending software engineering and cybersecurity practice across startups and freelance work. He moves fluidly between building applications and hardening them, most recently contributing to security at Dave after roles developing identity and certificate-related features at Keyfactor. Comfortable across the full development lifecycle, he brings hands-on coding experience and a constant appetite for learning new IT domains. His background as a freelance developer and analyst sharpened his ability to translate security requirements into practical engineering solutions. Michael holds a B.S. in Computer Science from Penn State Behrend and favors applied, measurable improvements to risk posture over theoretical approaches. Colleagues describe him as a curious practitioner who pairs developer pragmatism with security-first thinking.
