About
Who I am
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.
Transitioning from a triumphant career as a consistent sales leader, I'm now committed to shaping the future of technology, particularly in the realm of building, maintaining, and defending our digital landscapes. Currently, I'm a proud student at NJIT who recently graduated summa cum laude with a BS in Information Technology specializing in Network Information & Security in May 2024. I'm currently working on completing my MS in Information Technology Administration & Security (December 2025).
As someone with an unquenchable thirst for learning and innovation, I'm in the process of creating a custom website to showcase my skills and insights. Stay tuned for what's to come, but until then, this profile serves as a glimpse into my drive and determination to make a meaningful impact in the world of cybersecurity.
