Sodiq is a consumer technology writer with over four years of experience doing what he does best. He likes to explain how seemingly-difficult tech products (hardware and software) work, and what to do when they aren’t working correctly.
He writes troubleshooting tutorials, explainers, and app comparison for Android, iOS, Windows, and Mac on HelpDeskGeek, Online-Tech-Tips, and Switching to Mac. You’ll also find his works on other online tech publications like MakeUseOf, GuidingTech, and AddictiveTips.
Sodiq likes to see himself as a “Professional Troubleshooter.” He’s always ready to spend as much time as he can trying to decipher why a tech product doesn’t work as it’s designed to.
When he isn’t writing, you’ll find him keeping up with the latest tech trends, playing FIFA, or rewatching episodes of “The Office” and “Friends” for the umpteenth time.
