Michael Szyszko is a Senior Consultant in Application Security with seven years of full-stack engineering experience building cloud and on-premise systems from monoliths to microservices. He blends hands-on coding across languages including C#, Java, Go, Python, PHP and Lua with practical security work—performing OWASP ASVS analyses and delivering AWS/Azure automation POCs for container updates. Previously he developed e-commerce APIs and identity POCs at Elastic Path and built tested, responsive components at IBM, showing a consistent focus on reliable integrations and developer-friendly systems. Michael’s background in psychology and early work as an autism therapist gives him uncommon empathy for users and teams, informing his pragmatic, process-oriented approach to solving technical and organizational problems. He also maintains an active portfolio and sample projects on GitHub that demonstrate his breadth across languages and cloud-native patterns.
