Allan holds a degree in Education, but chose not to confine himself to the four corners of the typical classroom. Instead, he decided to go the digital route and take his chances in the blogoshpere, which, to this day, he calls his second home. Having written for the likes of Mobile Philippines, Game! Magazine, PMPToday, and Cellphones ETC (a Canadian mobile phone blog) and some sidelines here and there, Allan’s pretty much a veteran in the tech scene, and is quite happy to bring his passion for tech and gadgets over to Technoodling. Offline, you’ll see him either sweating it out in the badminton courts or dining out in one of the new restos around town, a testament to his two other passions—sports and food. His favorite noodles: cold soba.
