Professional Bio

I’m Steve Davis Jr.—a Systems and Cybersecurity professional who blends technical precision with people-centered leadership. I specialize in building resilient systems, leading with clarity, and tackling challenges that don’t have easy answers.

My background centers on high-impact response—stopping active threats, restoring critical systems, and reinforcing defenses to prevent repeat incidents. Beyond remediation, I’m passionate about developing smarter, more proactive security strategies in areas like vulnerability management, threat intelligence, and Identity and Access Management.

I value respect, collaboration, and accountability. Whether it’s speaking up in a crowded room or helping teams see the unseen, my goal is always the same—to elevate security maturity, strengthen trust, and create lasting impact beyond the ticket queue.

Experience

Massey Services - Systems Administrator

At Massey Services, I helped support a growing national operation of over 2,300 employees across 18 states. I focused on keeping systems secure, reliable, and efficient as the company expanded into new regions. Leading our phishing response efforts, I reduced malicious email clicks by 40% and strengthened user awareness. I also implemented performance fixes that stabilized 40+ remote session hosts within my first weeks on the job and automated software deployments for hundreds of desktops. My day-to-day work included maintaining uptime for over 800 devices and responding to active threats through tools like CrowdStrike Falcon XDR and Microsoft Defender.

Medicus IT - Associate Systems Engineer

At Medicus IT, a national healthcare managed services provider, I supported thousands of clinicians and staff across 2,000+ locations. My role blended technical problem-solving with client engagement, ensuring smooth operations for mission-critical healthcare systems. I consistently earned top customer satisfaction ratings and stepped up to lead field operations, onboarding 50 medical facilities and training their staff while colleagues were on leave. Whether troubleshooting networks, managing endpoints, or optimizing systems, my focus was always on keeping users connected and confident in their technology.

Vann Data Services - Systems Administrator I

At Vann Data, I supported a diverse mix of small and mid-sized business clients, managing everything from server maintenance to cybersecurity. I helped the company grow its managed service portfolio by more than 80% while maintaining strong client retention. My work included responding to and remediating several large-scale system breaches and identifying brute-force login attempts before they caused damage. As part of a small but agile team, I learned how to balance deep technical work with client communication — keeping systems running and relationships strong.
