With over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, I’ve covered a wide range of topics, including computational and analog photography, protocols, emoji, and linguistics. My passion lies in understanding how technology intersects with our daily lives, for better or worse. I’ve worked with various publications, including Android Authority, where I headed up reviews from 2016 to 2021. I’ve also collaborated with Marques Brownlee and helped run The Studio Channel for several years.

As a freelancer, I’ve attended high-profile events like the Switch 2 launch event and co-hosted episodes of the Vergecast and Version History. My expertise spans across various areas, but I’m particularly interested in exploring the delta between what companies claim to offer and how people actually use their technology. I’m always on the lookout for stories that highlight the human side of technology.
