Hey! Remember me? I’ve been around at Lifehacker and its sister sites Gizmodo and Kotaku for a few years now, but as of this week will be stepping into the intimidatingly Jackson Ryan-shaped hole that is Lifehacker’s Deputy Editor position! You’ve probably seen my work around already, but here’s a little introduction for the uninitiated.
I started with the Allure network in 2015 as the Editorial Assistant across Lifehacker, Gizmodo and Kotaku, around the time when Chris Jager took over editorship of the site – in fact, my first ever published article was for Lifehacker on two of my favourite things, food and sleep:

For those who missed the five-part series, we’ve bottled them all in one place. Bottoms up!”]
I’ve put my tastebuds on the line for everything from sugar-clogged $12 milkshakes to super hot chilli sauce to my first ever Big Mac.
One of my favourite projects on Lifehacker was These Are Your Numbers, a series about the lesser-known but highly influential figures in the history of computer science and technology.
