Hello, I’m Kennedy.

I build and study secure systems, focusing on network security, authentication, and privacy-preserving technologies.

I'm a Computer Science student graduating in 2026 with a strong interest in secure systems and applied cryptography. I enjoy understanding how systems fail, how attackers exploit them, and how to design defenses that are secure, practical, and scalable.
