About Christian Zibreg

Christian joined MakeUseOf in 2021 as a technical writer predominantly focused on Apple's platforms. He also enjoys covering Windows, Android, Entertainment, Streaming, and popular devices and apps. He's been blogging online since 2008 at places like Tom's Guide, 9to5Mac, and iDownloadBlog though his journalism experience spans 20+ years.

Back in the 1990s when the web was born, Chris studied Information Science specializing in Expert Systems and Management Information Systems. In his graduation year, he contributed to a weekly magazine about enterprise and started a faculty e-zine distributed on campus on floppy disks. It sparked a lifelong love for writing so strongly that he dropped out and took a leap of faith in journalism. 

In the early 2000s, Chris worked his way to become Editor-in-Chief of a gaming magazine. He also started three IT periodicals covering Windows PCs, consoles and consumer tech. A decade in print journalism has honed his writing and editorial skills while helping develop managerial experience. He also founded and ran a marketing/PR agency for five years, specializing in digital creative services.
