Drew is a freelance science and technology journalist with 20 years of experience. After growing up knowing he wanted to change the world, he realized it was easier to write about other people changing it instead. As an expert in science and technology for decades, he’s written everything from reviews of the latest smartphones to deep dives into data centers, cloud computing, security, artificial intelligence (AI), mixed reality and everything in between. He's also written about brain science and psychology as well as space flight, robotics, materials and sustainability, and a breadth of other topics.
After starting out reviewing laptop computers for the daily newspaper, Drew has written about and kept up to date with every major technological and scientific advance of the last few decades. Whether it’s recounting the pop culture phenomenon of the weeks before Skylab’s fiery return or explaining what makes recommendation engines tick, his specialty lies in making science and technology accessible to anyone from a general readership to executives, engineers, scientists and programmers already working in the industry.
