  • Jordan has the (expensive) hobby of collecting gadgets of all kinds for fun and has amassed a sizable collection.
  • He has built all his desktop gaming PCs, performed all of his device repairs, and installed an absurd number of operating systems on all device types.
  • He is a major proponent of open-source, privacy-respecting software, and tries to encourage those around him to see the benefits.

Experience

Jordan has spent a lifetime tinkering with electronics and their software. Even as a child, he has shown a fascination with technology, having fashioned a homemade bottle rocket launcher and developed a multiplayer 2D platformer using only Gamemaker in middle school. As a privacy and open-source software enthusiast, he spent two years with a de-Googled Android phone and a Linux-only home PC to prove you don't need big tech. He's always had a strong passion for writing, having penned over half a dozen novels. He joined Static Media in 2023 to write for one of its travel brands, Explore, and has since joined SlashGear to cover tech topics from helpful software to everyday consumer-level devices.

Education

Jordan earned a bachelor's degree in English creative writing, including a minor in Russian.
