Levin Roy
A software engineer by training, a freelance writer by profession, Levin Roy writes about all aspects of technology. He currently writes for Global American, Dropship Lifestyle, Handy Recovery, and various other tech publications.
Growing up, Levin was always passionate about books and technology. Any time not spent reading was devoted to tinkering with his computer, trying to code video games (spoilers, the games never worked), and ‘hack’ software.
After joining the industry as a front-end developer, Levin realized that he liked exploring and explaining technology more than being a cog in the corporate machine. So he switched careers to freelance writing, drawing from his technical knowledge to write problem-solving articles.
Since then he was worked in a variety of niches, from cryptocurrency to embedded computers. In his free time, he still likes reading and tinkering with computers, even though the subjects of his experiments have evolved to things like Neural Networks and Machine Learning.
