Editorial Writing
Taking a journalistic approach, I write long-form essays and deep-dives that explore an interesting trend or online phenomenon.
I’ve written editorial content for my newsletter Cybernaut, in-house at tech companies, and in publications like WIRED. My writing has landed on the front page of Hacker News and been cited in Bloomberg, Marginal Revolution, Think With Google, Vulture, and Vox.
Cybernaut
As part of the Every writer collective, I write a newsletter called Cybernaut. I’ve grown the newsletter to over 4,500 subscribers across tech, venture capital, and media. I explore internet culture, tech platforms and the people on them, and weird corners of the web. My writing is wide ranging—from opinion pieces and deep dives to book reviews and interviews.

Shopify
As part of a new editorial initiative, I helped shape a content strategy focused on the creator economy. I pitched and wrote stories about online influencers and how they’re changing the landscape of the internet—from entrepreneurship to ecommerce.
Additional Writing
I occasionally write for other publications on topics like internet culture and the future of work.
