I am a freelance writer and journalist in Brooklyn. I was previously on staff at The Atlantic and The New York Times, where I wrote about tech, business, crypto, books, and American life. I have also written about those topics for publications including The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The Nation, GQ, Mother Jones, The Paris Review, and The Drift. During college, I was an intern with McSweeneys and The Believer.
