My Experience

Prior to starting at PCMag, I worked in Big Tech on the West Coast for six years. From that time, I got an up-close view of how software engineering teams work, how good products are launched, and the way business strategies shift over time. After I’d had my fill, I changed course and enrolled in a master’s program for journalism at Northwestern University in Chicago. I'm now a reporter with a focus on electric vehicles and artificial intelligence.

The Technology I Use

I like to survey the market by trying out products from different brands. Right now, I have a Microsoft Surface laptop, an Amazon Echo for jamming out in my apartment, an iPad that’s getting dusty, and an iPhone 13, which I got recently after rocking an iPhone 8 Plus for many years. My next purchase might be a fitness watch. All my friends now seem to have them and are discussing the status of their “body batteries.” I’m lost!
