Background
I'm Alfred Simpson, a dedicated
professional
uniquely bridging the worlds
of
sales and cybersecurity. With a strong start in the sales sector, I
found success across multiple
industries,
but
it
was during the global
Coronavirus Pandemic that my true
calling
emerged. Seizing the
opportunity, I channeled my drive into
pursuing
an in-depth
understanding of
information technology, with a special focus on
cybersecurity.
Organizations
Some organizations I founded. Some organizations I took leadership of and changed. Other organizations I'm a passive participant in. These are great resources for anyone looking to follow a similar path.

I participated in many events throughout the years. From cybersecurity competitions to hackathons to conferences - I stay quite busy. This can give you a better idea of what I've done and where I've been. As it's poor security to tell you where I'll be, I won't tell you in advance. But, if you're good at OSINT, I'm sure you already know.
