My Experience

I’ve been writing and editing technology content for over seven years, most recently as part of PCMag's software team. I am responsible for the creativity, education, operating system, productivity, and small business categories, among others. I also worked for several years on the consumer electronics team, where I edited articles on topics such as cameras, headphones, phones, speakers, and tablets. Before PCMag, I was at Neowin.net, Tom’s Guide, and Laptop Mag. I spend too much of my free time reading audio and photography forums.

The Technology I Use

I use a Lenovo ThinkPad P14s for work and a 2021 Razer Blade 14 for everything else. I also keep a Lenovo Yoga Tab tablet and a HiBy M300 digital audio player. My current phone is a Google Pixel 6a.

As for software, I use Firefox everywhere, as well as Mullvad VPN and Bitwarden. I rely on Adobe Lightroom to edit photos and Microsoft Excel to manage the rest of my life. To organize my music library, I use MusicBee on Windows and Musicolet on Android.

I’m currently split between wired and wireless headphones. I use a Fiio K3 amp/DAC for the Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X headphones and the Moondrop Kato earphones. For wireless audio, I switch between the Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones and the Technics EAH-AZ40M2 earphones.

My current camera is a Nikon D500.
