I write about home and garden technology. If it plugs in or runs on a battery, I'll find out if it's worth the money. 

Robot lawnmowers are my specialism. Over the past few years I’ve tested dozens of them in a sloping estuary garden full of roots and salt air, plus a couple of friends’ lawns that would defeat most mowers, all of which are far less forgiving than a manufacturer’s demo lawn.

My work appears in BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine, T3, Trusted Reviews and Grand Designs Magazine, and I’ve been on BBC Radio 4’s Sliced Bread as their robot mower expert. I also run Beard Reviews Tech across YouTube and Instagram.

Editors like me because I know the products and the industry well enough to explain what actually matters to a reader, and I file clean copy to brief and on time. I write buying guides, long-term reviews, features, and explainers across smart garden and home tech.
