What was your first job as a journalist?

I'm still a volunteer/contributing writer, but it was at a now defunct Esports news site.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, I have never used a real, old-fashion typewriter. Though, I wonder if I'd still type fast on a typewriter as I do on a modern keyboard.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

Other than WordPress to type and publish my articles, I use a mix of Photoshop for cover images and Davinci Resolve for editing videos
