About
Gaming writer, creator, and technologist.
I'm Justin — a technology professional, writer, creator, and lifelong gamer. I created and run Torchlit Gaming, an independent gaming publication and podcast covering game criticism, mechanics, gaming history, technology, and culture. I also design and ship consumer software for gamers, including SaveCrystal, an iOS app for organizing personal game libraries.
Professionally, I have 14+ years of experience in IT, data, client support, and enterprise systems — most recently in EDI integration at Lincoln Financial — and a BS in Information Technology. At heart, I'm a developer and builder: I craft thoughtful software, write about what I learn, and share the projects that keep me curious.
I'm now deliberately bringing those threads together — technology, communication, games, and the people who play them — to build a career in the games industry.
