I’m a Canadian technology journalist and an aspiring author. I write about Canada: its history, its present and its future. I don’t see these as separate threads, but as parts of the same story.

You can find my work in publications such as Mobile Syrup, Android Police, iMore, Digital Trends and Ottawa Life Magazine. I tend to be a little irreverant, and enjoy churning corporate techno-speak into digestible stories.

While my reporting focuses on Canadian technology (and not only the devices and platforms but the entire issue of tech sovereignty), my books and essays cover every aspect of Canada. I’m a total history nerd, and love sharing stories about Canada’s past.

I love it so much that I finished writing my first novel, a true story about a squadron of outcast Canadian fighter pilots in the Battle of Britain, led by the double-amputee British fighter ace Douglas Bader. This is the first book in a planned series about every day, regular Canadians caught up in the inferno of the Second World War.

I was the recipient of an Ontario Community Newspaper Association (OCNA) award in 2022 for a feature story I wrote about a Russian student in Ottawa who found herself cut off from home following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I was just as surprised as everyone else when I learned I had been nominated for the award.

I live in Ottawa, Canada’s beautiful capital city (minus the pot hole-filled roads), with my two children, where I spend too much time hunting for the perfect blonde wheat beer, playing with tech gadgets, and hiking the Gatineau Hills.
