My Expertise

I'm the expert at PCMag for all things electric vehicles and AI. I've written hundreds of articles on these topics, including product reviews, daily news, CEO interviews, and deeply reported features. I also cover other topics within the tech industry, keeping a pulse on what technologies are coming down the pipe that could shape how we live and work.

My Experience

Before starting at PCMag, I worked in Big Tech on the West Coast for six years, where 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. I then changed course and enrolled in a master’s program for journalism at Northwestern University in Chicago. I interned at PCMag while earning my degree before coming on board full-time.

The Tech I Use

All the latest from Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, but I'll never give up my wired headphones!
