Fergus has been a tech journalist for seven years now, focusing mainly on cybersecurity and cloud-based software. His worked a stint at the copy desk of English-language daily The China Post in Taiwan before establishing himself as a tech reporter, first in Southern California and now in Europe.
Most of his writing career was spent at Cloudwards, where he worked as the chief editor for four years, although he has also written feature stories for GameCrate and been a news writer for GameRant and the now-defunct TechFrag. He has led investigations into dodgy VPNs, put together company profiles, and also reviewed more software than you can shake a stick at.
His interest in tech started long before he ever put pen to paper, though, as he was forced to learn simple programming in BASIC to get any games to run on his dad's monochrome 286. He does not miss the 80s, and he feels any nostalgia for that era is badly misplaced.
