Experience
From a young age, Shane took a vested interest in the inner workings of virtually all pieces of technology (gaming consoles, televisions, film equipment, it didn't matter). He wanted to learn as much as he could and did so through a variety of hands-on tech and mechanical projects. While he has largely pursued these interests as hobbies, the knowledge he has acquired over the years has led him to SlashGear, where he's eager to discuss the ever-changing worlds of technology, animation, science, and more.
Education
Shane graduated magna cum laude from the University at Buffalo in 2021 with his bachelor's degree in film studies.
