I spent eight years as a content lead on the Windows team at Microsoft. I’ve also been the Tech Editorial Director at eHow, editor-in-chief of family tech site Techwalla, and digital managing editor of Robb Report. I’ve also co-hosted a number of podcasts including Protocol 1 and Battlestar Recaptica.
