About me
I’ve been a tech reporter for over a decade at publications like The Verge, The Information, and Business Insider. Over the years, I’ve broken hundreds of scoops and interviewed many of Silicon Valley’s leading figures. I left my post as deputy editor at The Verge to launch Sources in September 2025.
In addition to writing Sources, I also co-host ACCESS, a weekly podcast about the tech industry’s inside conversation that’s produced in partnership with Vox Media.
My reporting has been featured in nearly every major publication, including The New York Times, CNN, and The Wall Street Journal, and has appeared in congressional hearings and on Saturday Night Live. I’ve appeared onstage at SXSW, Web Summit, HumanX, and other conferences.
Sources is a reader and advertising-supported publication with no outside investors. Some things you should know about my reporting process:
I never accept money or gifts in exchange for coverage.
All sponsored messaging in Sources is clearly labeled and does not influence my editorial coverage.
I never provide interview questions to a subject in advance.
If I cite information I’ve learned from anonymous sources, I’m always aware of their identities and have chosen not to disclose them. Usually, I do this to protect a source’s identity.
You can find me elsewhere on X, LinkedIn, Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky.
