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

At GW, I'm currently a Graduate Teaching Assistant for CSCI 2312 (Discrete Structures II). As an undergraduate, I TAed CSCI 3313 (Foundations of Computing), CSCI 2113 (Software Engineering [Java]), CSCI 2312 (Discrete Structures II), and CSCI 1012 (Intro to Python).

This past summer, I worked 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 also helped GW's Computer Science department develop a Linux-based academic testing lab designed to prevent academic dishonesty during assessments.

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).
