Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Williams is a technical editor at Google with a two-decade track record in deadline-driven print and online tech publishing, including leadership as Editor in Chief at The Register. He pairs editorial rigor with hands-on systems programming—authoring low-level RISC-V code in Rust, Zig, and assembly for personal projects—and holds an MEng in electronic engineering from the University of Warwick. Based in San Francisco, he brings a rare blend of clear technical communication and practical embedded-systems curiosity, with personal interests spanning open hardware, security, hypervisors, and operating systems. That combination helps him translate complex low-level topics for broad IT audiences while still shipping tinkering-grade code.
