About Me

Hello, I’m Abiyan—an aspiring Computer Science graduate, an avid gamer, and a passionate News Reporter at Tech4Gamers. My love for writing and gaming fuels my desire to bring the latest industry updates to readers. When away from the keyboard, you’ll likely find me immersed in Dota 2 or racing through Rocket League matches.

Position at Tech4Gamers

At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

Tech Journey

I have been playing video games from a very young age and have been writing about them for quite a few years. While I started my journey as a hobby to spend my free time, I quickly gained interest and have been working in the gaming industry as a full-time news writer for the last few years.

Current PC setup

Here are my PC specs:
