Writing
My work has been taught as part of a Yale writing seminar; you could do worse!
I worked as a reporter and editor at Ars Technica for five years; as an editor at The New York Times’ Wirecutter; as an editor at The Outline; as an editorial director at VICE; and I’ve freelanced at outlets including The New Yorker, The New York Times, NYMag's Select All and The Cut, and The Awl.
Here are some things I've written.
