My Experience

I started working at PCMag in November 2016, covering all areas of technology and video game news. Before that I spent nearly 15 years working at Geek.com as a writer and editor. I also spent the first six years after leaving university as a professional game designer working with Disney, Games Workshop, 20th Century Fox, and Vivendi.

I hold two degrees: a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Games Development. My first book, Make Your Own Pixel Art, is available from all good book shops.

My Areas of Expertise

• PC components and system building

• Raspberry Pi

• Software development

• Storage technology

• Video games and gaming hardware

The Technology I Use

All of my writing is done on a Windows 10 PC I built myself, which is hooked up to three 24-inch monitors. The software I rely on daily includes the Firefox web browser, Notepad++, VMware Workstation, Microsoft Excel, OneDrive, and a VPN for ensuring access to US websites because I'm based in the UK.
