Vann has been writing professionally for four years, and specifically about tech for nearly two years. He got his start by making satirical pieces for comedy websites, and eventually transitioned into writing about technology, consumer products, and entertainment.
The very first computing device he owned was an original black and white Game Boy. The practice he got from mashing buttons in Dr. Mario would become helpful later in life, when he got an unpaid part-time job helping his elementary school computer teacher install educational software across 40 unnetworked PCs.
He wrote his first tech-related writeup when he was 13-years-old. It was a guide to installing homebrew onto a Nintendo DS -- a piece that won him an NDS carrying case. Since then, he's written on a variety of topics, from online dark patterns to battery technology. In particular, he's adept at writing explainers that simplify and condense broad tech subjects.
By day, he works as a digital marketer for a regional e-commerce site focused on food and beverages. He holds a degree in Advertising Management and Industrial Economics, which gives him a strong interest in how the web moves markets.
