Position at Tech4Gamers

I’ve been the Journalist & Editorial Writer at Tech4Gamers since July 2022. I spearhead our hardware coverage, including overclocking GPUs, benchmarking CPUs, reviewing peripherals, and fine-tuning custom PC builds for every budget. Daily, I report on breaking gaming news, from major launches and studio updates to the latest industry trends, ensuring our community stays informed. Beyond news briefs, I write in-depth feature articles on gaming culture and emerging technologies. And by collaborating closely with the editorial team on content planning, SEO strategy, and our publishing calendar, I help us consistently hit our traffic and engagement targets.

Tech Journey

I joined Tech4Gamers in July 2022 as a fresh-faced Journalist eager to make my mark. Initially, it was all about immersing myself in the hardware world, learning the ins and outs of GPU architectures, CPU thermals, and the art of building balanced PCs while also reviewing a range of PC peripherals, from keyboards and mice to headsets. As I grew more confident, I took charge of our hardware coverage, pushing cards to their limits in overclocking tests and making clear, no-nonsense benchmarks that readers could trust. Along the way, I’ve collaborated closely with our SEO and content-planning teams, helping to refine our editorial calendar so we hit our traffic goals month after month.
