Abbas Jaffar Ali

Managing Editor - Middle East

Abbas has been living and breathing tech before phones became smart or clouds started storing data. It all started when he got his very first computer- the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. He then moved to the Commodore 64 and Amiga to building PC for himself and friends.

 

From PCs to laptops and mobile phones, Abbas is always interested in tech that is smarter and smaller because he believes that tech shouldn’t be something that gets added to your life- it should be a part of your life.

 

Abbas has worked with and been invited to global launch events by many of the largest tech companies such as Apple, Amazon, Intel, Microsoft, Samsung, Sony and Huawei.

 

In his current position, Abbas manages the Middle Eastern version of TechRadar.
