Background

About William Simms

I am a recent graduate of The Ohio State University’s Cybersecurity Bootcamp, where I focused on how to master tools such as Splunk, Microsoft Azure, Tenable Nessus, and more. I enjoy the challenge of discovery and problem solving that are indicative of cybersecurity penetration testing and defense, and am excited to explore the promise of artificial intelligence as a tool to assist companies in protecting their organizations. Additionally, I am a skilled communicator, having had experience in customer support positions where I was responsible for problem resolution, email and phone communication. Further, have experience managing SaaS customer databases (4D, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce), able to assist organizations in project planning, research, trend analysis, and opportunity identification. I have worked with a handful of robust databases and used my knowledge of the software and clientele to help create more informed business decisions. In August of 2022, I started a new venture, Simms Music Productions, where I built original shows for high school marching programs. I also wrote and produced an album that was released in June of 2023. I am a musician (capable on electric bass, traditional keyboards and synthesizers, baritone and tuba), composer and arranger, and have written pieces across many genres, including electronic music, alternative rock, classical, and a-capella. As a musician and producer, I am comfortable working with Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Finale, ProTools, Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro.
