About Alex Young

If you can't find me just look up at the nearest rock wall. Yea I'm one on those.a rock climbing, military vet, who does a nerdy job and loves it. That's a "THING" right? I'm fresh back from Africa in 2018 where I was the Operations NCOIC. For those who don't speak military, you know those rooms in movies where one wall is maps, and there are 20 people on phones talking in code while coordinating things round the word.that was my office. We working international incidents all over Africa and it was terrifying and amazing every day, and wouldn't trade it for anything. Started at Cognizant at the end of OCT 2020 where I'm building out a SOC team of cyber security analysts. This is a great transition after Managing a 150 million dollar Census 2020 Project for TTEC.
