Top SchoolMike F is a Principal Cloud Security Consultant with two decades of offensive security experience, specializing in cloud compromise across AWS, Azure, GCP and CI/CD pipelines. A red teamer and pentester since 2005 with roots in reverse engineering and exploit development dating to the late 1990s, he blends deep low-level technical skill with practical enterprise offensive programs. He has led red team R&D and built cloud pentesting offerings at CrowdStrike and Black Hills, founded a boutique offensive startup focused on cloud and Microsoft/Google ecosystems, and now consults at TrustedSec. Mike also brings an early AI background—building neural networks in C# and Python since 2013—and has explored adversarial attacks on ML models. Known for quick adaptation, collaborative leadership, and an appetite for cognitive challenges, he pairs technical creativity with a focus on delivering actionable compliance roadmaps for cloud customers. An often-understated strength is his ability to translate complex exploit research into repeatable, enterprise-ready testing methodologies.
