Mako is a freelance writer at How-To Geek and a Computer Science graduate with a love for all things tech. He took a course in Computer Science with the fascination of creating tech, only to find out that he loved teaching the masses about it more.
Before writing for How-To Geek, Mako spent years writing for a variety of other websites. Whether it's how-to guides, tutorials, news articles, or detailed long-form blog posts about the latest languages, gadgets, and trends—Mako enjoys writing them all more than he should. Writing at 120 words per minute, his hands wish he'd take a break.
Mako's a geek for all things tech, including IoT, and believes that efficient working comes from an optimized setup.
If you're looking for tech support, the latest news on tech trends, or a product review for your work-at-home setup, he probably has written an article on that!
