- Quentyn's early obsession with modern smartphones led him to join and steer the first-ever publication dedicated to Android, earning recognition for his device and software reviews from major U.S. carriers and manufacturers, including a featured byline on a Samsung Times Square billboard.
- His career, spanning nearly two decades, enabled a satisfying life of globetrotting thanks to regular live coverage of tech industry events across the U.S. and internationally. He has also worked his entire career remotely, before the pandemic made it cool.
- A lifelong joysticker, he scratched his passion for video games by cofounding and growing a grassroots gaming, music, and nerd culture community to great success, eventually attracting exclusive interviews and reviews from top publishers.
Experience
For more than 15 years in the digital publishing industry, Quentyn has exclusively covered technology and video games for top media publications such as Forbes, Business Insider, Digital Trends, and more. Settling on smartphones, wearables, tablets, gaming gear, photography, and A/V as his primary beats, he has written and edited thousands of stories with expert-level insight over his career, from routine news to in-depth product and software reviews. His obsession with technology started in childhood as a necessity — a matter of literal life or death. With limited access to quality education, he found an easier way to learn how he could escape his rough inner-city life through the advent of mobile internet access, fueling his desire to teach himself and others about the tools we all rely on today for education and entertainment.
Education
Quentyn began his extended studies immediately after high school, attaining an associate degree in software engineering from a local college. He is currently finishing his extended studies to attain a bachelor's degree in computer science, while also enrolled in a nano degree scholarship for digital marketing.
