About Matthew S Smith

I’m a techology journalist, critic, reviewer, and influencer from Portland, Oregon. I\'m open to freelance and contract opportunities. Over sixteen years I\'ve accumulated deep expertise on a wide swath of consumer and personal technology. I know how to add a compelling narrative to complicated technologies like the metaverse, cryptocurrency, geospatial data, and AR/VR hardware, to name a few. My long history writing on technology provides the perspective to see information others might miss, and I\'m familiar with the engaging, friendly, helpful tone most readers prefer. My experience in consumer technology extends to product criticism and reviews. Few journalists have handled more devices than I have: my records include well over products including laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, and monitors. I review products with the assumption that shoppers care deeply about the value offered to them—and don\'t want to read a manual to figure out how a device works.
