About Kennedy Otieno

Kennedy's accounting (major) background and passion for writing led to a career in research publications. But fate would change things up, and he landed in cybersecurity four years ago after being recruited into a tech company. He studied the intricacies of digital privacy and cybersecurity, focusing on VPNs and antivirus software.
His cybersecurity expertise is underpinned by hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the complexities in the field. He excels at breaking down technical concepts into stories anyone can understand and enjoy. He has collaborated with outstanding brands, including VPNMentor and Africa.com, enhancing his reputation as a knowledgeable and trustworthy voice in the industry.
Outside of work, Kennedy enjoys quiet time in nature and exploring profound philosophical ideas. He loves thought-provoking discussions on life's more significant questions, like whether we live in a sophisticated matrix-like reality. Also, Kennedy has a new-found love for chess and is open to easier challenges that can help him climb the rankings fast.

What was your first phone?

My first phone was a Motorola C113, and it was a boredom killer because I could always play Snake Xenzia instead of staring at the ceiling.

When did your interested in technology begin?

At 13 when I was first introduced to computer racing and shooting games, I instantly knew I was falling in love. The generous owner even showed me how to type and save a document on a hard drive and a diskette. From then onwards, I couldn't help but take myself wherever I could find a computer.

What tech products or categories are you most passionate about?

Digital privacy, artificial intelligence, wearable and smart tech, cryptocurrency
