I've covered the technology field for a decade, beginning a freelance career in 2017 and working with numerous publications, including PCMag since 2021, IGN, CNN Underscored, Reviewed, Forbes Vetted, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, T3, PC Gamer, PCWorld, and more. I have reviewed hundreds of products with a particular emphasis on computers and the broad field of peripherals, especially audio gear. At PCMag, I contribute fully tested laptop reviews focused on Windows systems and audio device reviews of products like headphones and speakers.
