My main work setup consists of a 2017 MacBook Pro, an iPad Pro, and a pre-owned iPhone 13 Pro Max. I built a 2023 gaming PC with a GeForce RTX 3070, an Intel Core i7 CPU, and Windows 11. My apartment’s entertainment system consists of a Google TV with Chromecast, a Nintendo Switch OLED, a Sony PlayStation 5, a Microsoft Xbox Series X, and a Wii U. I also have an Amazon Kindle, a Google Nest Mini, and a Nintendo 2DS XL. My parents’ house in the suburbs has a Vizio Smartcast TV with Chromecast built-in, two Philips Hue light bulbs, a PlayStation 3, and a homemade Wii. That house also uses a Ring doorbell, a Nest Protect on every floor, three Google WiFi routers, a TCL 4K Roku television, an Amazon Echo Dot, and various Google TV and Apple TV devices.
Chris graduated from the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University in 2016, where he studied dual information systems and creative writing.
