Tech Clinic
Background
A common story, nothing too exciting – I have always held a passion for technology. I grew up in a time where computers were slow, cumbersome, and the monitors could take a punch! Nothing worked, and the internet was not the ubiquitous force it is in today’s world. As a child I thought laptops were the coolest thing in the world, and that has never really left me.
Tech is interesting, and so multifaceted, that there is something for everyone. Whether you’re a hardware nerd that wants a small nuclear powerplant pumping out enough juice for an FPS edge, a creative professional sick of rendering times, AI enthusiast heralding in SkyNet to kill us all, or just someone that enjoys modern life…I can promise that Tech has something for you. Whether just to inform a purchasing decision, or help make your life easier.
What is it?
Tech Clinic exists as a way for me to share my love of tech with the world, whenever I get the free time to do so! Whether that is in educational material, or simply looking at ways to improve in our daily lives, it all lives here. I have always disliked waste, particularly E-Waste, and in my life I have an ethos of “Embrace the Jank” – repurpose old tech, giving it a new life, saving you money, and scratching that oh-so-satisfying itch.

About the Opinionated Author
My name is Kev, and I work in the Tech Sector in Ireland, living in the rural Irish Countryside in a two-hundred year old stone cottage in the middle of the woods. I’m a father to the best little boy in the world, and am haunted by a beautiful Border Collie that routinely herds me to the treat press. I have a background in Graphic Design, Content Creation, and have a sordid history with education. Originally I pursued English, Media, and Cultural Studies in IADT, as well as Personal Training & Exercise Studies in the NTC. I went back to education in 2018 for Computer Science, and have been working in Software Dev, Web Dev, and Solutions.
In my free time, I like to tinker – messing around with Mechanical Keyboards, Gaming, writing, and of course, indulging in tech news. And most of all, I like to share what I know (however little), embracing the true power of the internet in the process. So stick around for the surely infrequent updates, and don’t hesitate to reach out!
