Devindra Hardawar’s Summary
I am a freelance writer and media producer passionate about technology, film, television, and video games. My goal is to channel my love for these topics into writing and other forms of media, as well as collaborating with similarly passionate people.
For the past several years I've worked in help desk support helping users to grasp their technology, now I aim to promote technological understanding on a larger scale with my writing and other work.
