About Anthony Bahn

Honest Tech Reviews. Zero BS.

Professional Background

I'm Anthony Bahn, an IT Director with over 23 years of experience in technology and cybersecurity. Throughout my career, I've overseen technology infrastructure, security operations, and digital transformation initiatives for municipalities and organizations across the United States.

I also work as a cybersecurity consultant, helping businesses protect their digital assets and navigate the complex world of information security.

Why Trust My Reviews?

🎯

Real-World Experience

25+ years in IT means I've seen it all. I test products in actual production environments, not just lab setups. My reviews reflect how technology performs when you need it most.

πŸ”

Security-First Mindset

As a cybersecurity consultant, I evaluate every product through a security lens. Privacy, encryption, and data protection are never afterthoughts in my analysis.

πŸ“Š

Methodical Testing

Every review includes weeks of hands-on testing across multiple scenarios. I use standardized benchmarks and real-world usage patterns to give you objective, repeatable results.

πŸ’―

100% Independent

I purchase most products myself or use products I already own. When vendors provide review units, I disclose it. My opinions can't be bought.

From Zero to Certified

Beyond product reviews, I'm passionate about helping people advance their IT careers. My YouTube channel, "From Zero to Certified", provides comprehensive training for major IT certifications including:

  • CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+
  • Cisco CCNA
  • Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
  • And many more...

With weekly uploads and a community of thousands of learners, I'm committed to making IT certification accessible to everyone.
