Portfolio: Recent Articles

Now based in Central Oregon, I find that the dialogue around technology often ignores how these innovations actually impact our local communities and personal environments. I aim to bridge that gap in my writing, whether I'm evaluating how a new AI model might change the workplace or how regional infrastructure supports the next generation of electric cars.

My approach to this industry is grounded in a "hands-on" philosophy. I don’t just read the spec sheets; I build the systems, attend the car reveals, and drive the vehicles. By maintaining a constant dialogue with the engineers and visionaries behind today's products, I strive to provide an honest, technical, and forward-looking perspective that respects the reader's intelligence and helps them prepare for what’s coming next.
