Biography
I run The Shortcut, the #1 consumer tech publication on Substack and backed by 1M followers. I report on gadgets, AI, and gaming by going a step further: offering 1:1 advice on how to get the lowest price when new technology launches. I was the US Editor-in-Chief of TechRadar and launched my own video game blog (before blogs were a thing) at age 14.
