About Me
I’m Matthew Connatser, I’m a journalist with experience in tech reporting going back to 2018. Most of my career has been focused on writing news articles about semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and other technology happenings, but I also have experience in product reviews such as for SSDs, CPUs, and other consumer tech devices. I’ve written at several of the most prolific tech news sites, and there’s a good chance you’ve read one of my articles. Today, I run my own media company, Silicon Insights.
From 2018 to 2022 I studied at the University of Tennessee and achieved a bachelor’s degree with a major in history and a minor in linguistics. My main areas of focus were in early medieval Islamic and European history, Romance languages, and fundamental linguistic principles.
