Michael Weems

I am a self-motivated and analytically driven cybersecurity professional with over 10 years of experience in system troubleshooting, quality assurance, and technical support. My passion lies in protecting systems through proactive detection, intrusion analysis, and endpoint telemetry. Currently, I am pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance to further formalize my technical threat detection skills. I am eager to bring my problem-solving mindset and relentless curiosity to a dynamic team like CrowdStrike’s OverWatch.

In my role as a Lead Software QA Engineer at Sycle LLC, I collaborated cross-functionally to prevent software defects through threat modeling and secure SDLC practices. I simulated real-world scenarios for QA testing, gaining hands-on experience in tracing system behaviors and identifying unexpected outputs. My efforts in enhancing internal test automation pipelines have significantly improved our ability to monitor system responses for inconsistencies, applying core principles of behavioral detection.

Additionally, I have a strong background in educating users on common attack vectors, improving organizational threat awareness, and utilizing endpoint diagnostics to identify unusual behavior patterns. My experience managing OS-level issues across various systems has equipped me with the skills necessary to build efficient remediation processes for recurring system threats.
