About Me

I began my gaming journey by playing flash games and whatever my potato PC could run in the early 2000s. I still have fond memories of playing GTA games and Need for Speed 2. I eventually moved to online experiences like IMVU and Wizard 101, which further propelled my love for gaming. Now I love to play indie and a couple of AAA entries to pass my time.

Position at Tech4Gamers

I’ve previously worked for eXputer as a Senior News Writer for several years. Now with Tech4Gamers, I love to devoutly keep up with the latest gaming and entertainment industries. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and years of experience reporting on games and breaking exclusive stories. Besides my passion for gaming journalism, I love spending my leisure time farming away in Stardew Valley. VGC, IGN, GameSpot, Game Rant, TheGamer, GamingBolt, The Verge, NME, Metro, Dot Esports, GameByte, Kotaku Australia, PC Gamer, and more have cited my articles.

Tech Journey

Despite having a fair share of experience with retro console gaming in my early years, I’ve mostly stuck to PC for the rest of my life. I made the best use of a potato PC for a long time by playing various popular indie and low-end releases before eventually equipping myself with a rig that allowed me to try out many AAA games on my wishlist. Since then, my passion has grown into a profession that I’m proud of over the years.

Current PC setup

I’m currently using these specs on my trusty gaming device:

OS: Windows 11

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700H 2.70 GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

RAM: DDR5 16 GB

Storage: 1 TB
