About

I’m Simone Abrahams, a versatile professional with a strong background across cybersecurity/cloud network and security engineering, digital asset management, and content production. I’ve worked behind the scenes in film and post-production environments administering digital workflows, managing libraries and websites, and delivering reliable publishing processes using tools such as Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Server.

Alongside my technical career, I contribute part-time to AI-related language and audio tasks through transcription, translation, annotation, and audio evaluation. I’m also passionate about public health innovation—co-creating and supporting sustainable awareness, education, and policy development around non-communicable diseases (including mental health and substance abuse) using data-driven and design-thinking approaches within community-oriented primary care.
