Michelle Rae Uy is the former Buying Guides Editor at TechRadar. She's a Los Angeles-based tech, travel and lifestyle writer covering a wide range of topics, from computing to the latest in green commutes to the best hiking trails.

She's an ambivert who enjoys communing with nature and traveling for months at a time just as much as watching movies and playing sim games at home. That also means that she has a lot more avenues to explore in terms of understanding how tech can improve the different aspects of our lives.

A past IGN, Insider, and Thrillist contributor, you can also see her work on T3, Creative Bloq, and Digital Camera World. When not testing cool gadgets, she's gallivanting around the world, going on adventures, learning the latest TikTok dance trend, or cuddling with her tuxedo cats while watching reruns of the X-Files or listening to podcasts about astronomy.

She dreams of traveling to space one day, maybe when it's cheap to do so and hyperspace is no longer just a sci-fi concept.
