About us

Editor

I have been musing and writing about technology since 1999 back in my native country Mauritius, dreaming back in 1997 of a world full of avatars and virtual reality. After completing a degree in Social Studies, I hosted a tech talk show for a national radio and have written for a number of tech websites & magazines after being called "a writer lost in IT" and enjoying being the only tech journo for a while. I joined Net Communities as Content Editor for ITProPortal.com in October 2005 and now manage an extensive team of freelancers, writers and contributors.
