Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

Hello! I’m Bronzegated, and I’m a technology strategist.

To keep things simple, I use cutting-edge technologies to develop innovative and tailored solutions for businesses and individuals.

This job is the culmination of my early teen interests in creative technology and interactive art.

It’s been an incredible journey of self-discovery, starting from mobile-first UX design, moving through home automation, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and sustainable technologies.

I was lucky to enter these fields early on, and it’s played a big part in shaping where my career stands today.

Working with emerging technologies often means dealing with uncertain standards.

So, my workflow is dependent on the ebbs and flows of market demand, which gives me plenty of time to travel as a way of passing time between projects.

I post my travel updates on my personal Instagram.

Building my desk setup turned into quite the journey over the year.

I tried a bunch of different things, and I’m satisfied with it now, though there’s always room for tweaking.

One big thing that struck me was how portable monitors often suffer from awkward mounting methods that lack a firm grip.
