I lead long-form features and product testing at Android Authority, breaking down complex technical topics into clear, practical guidance for millions of readers.

With 13 years of experience in writing, reviewing, and editing, I combine editorial judgment with hands-on testing experience and thorough research. Since 2023, I have led in-house software development for news aggregation, bespoke benchmarks, and data presentation for reviews and video.
