Simone Van Zyl
Simone Van Zyl needed a focused professional CV site for an OSINT and social media intelligence investigator, with resume history, expertise, certifications, recommendations, and strong profile metadata.

Goals
- Position Simone clearly as an OSINT and SMINT investigator in Cape Town
- Make resume, portfolio, certifications, and recommendations easy to access
- Support a shareable professional profile with structured Person metadata
Constraints
