About Ismar Hrnjicevic

Ismar is a Contributor at How-To Geek. Ismar worked as a writer, editor, and general manager at a content agency before joining the How-To Geek team in 2023.

Ismar has been around Windows PCs since the age of three, so his family chose him as the resident tech support. His projects often involve tinkering, such as swapping out mechanical keyboard and mouse switches to upgrade his beloved gaming gear. He also enjoys pushing his PC to the max through overclocking.

In addition to his passion for gadgets, Ismar is an avid gamer with thousands of in-game hours spread across various genres, including first-person shooters, role-playing games, racing games, and roguelites.

When he's not sitting at his desk, he's probably messing around with other people's phones to discover their quirks and features. He also follows cutting-edge tech and is particularly interested in how advanced AI will gradually transform our lives.

He started his writing career in 2021 after completing his B.A. in English Language and Literature. To keep up with all this writing work, he relies on three cups of coffee a day. He loves the beverage so much that he created a blog about collecting coffee mugs to showcase his favorite vessels.

Ismar likes to work on intermittent SEO projects to enhance his clients' search engine visibility. He has bylines at Red Stag Fulfillment and Authority Hacker.

In his free time, Ismar enjoys spending time with his wife, working out at the gym, playing guitar and bass, cooking gourmet meals, and traveling. He's also a proud cat owner.
