Myriam Joire

Myriam Joire (tnkgrl) was born wearing combat boots and holding a keyboard; moments later she picked up a soldering iron. She's been stomping, typing and hacking ever since. After spending years being a code-monkey in the video game industry, she joined Engadget as Senior Mobile Editor and later Pebble as Chief Evangelist. Today she freelances as a product/media strategy consultant, and as a tech journalist for Mobile Geeks and other major publications. She's based in San Francisco.
