Intro

Name

Ozzy Simpson

Description

I recently graduated summa cum laude from The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with a B.S. in Computer Science. This summer, I'm working as a research assistant in the GW Usable Security and Privacy Lab, contributing to several projects including the Privacy Label Observatory and a customized survey platform used in their research studies. I'm also helping GW's Computer Science department develop a Linux-based academic testing lab designed to prevent academic dishonesty during assessments.

As a CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service recipient, I'll be continuing at GW for a fifth year to pursue an M.S. in Computer Science, with a focus on computer security and information assurance. I am currently looking for cybersecurity-related opportunities starting in late-summer or fall 2026.

At GW, I've served twice as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) for CSCI 3313 (Foundations of Computing) and once for CSCI 2113 (Software Engineering [Java]). I was also an Undergraduate Learning Assistant for CSCI 2312 (Discrete Structures II) and CSCI 1012 (Intro to Python). Previously, I interned as a software engineering intern at Capital One through their Technology Internship Program.

My passion for technology began in kindergarten, when I taught myself to use iWeb to design websites. By age ten, I had moved from design to development and launched a small web design business. Since then, I've enjoyed building custom tools for myself, my high school's newspaper and student government, and various organizations I've worked with or volunteered for.

When I'm not in class or coding (yes, often for fun), I enjoy skiing, running, rock climbing, and discovering the best vegan sushi wherever I go (Shizen in SF; Planta in DC, LA, and more).
