Experience

As a feature writer for House Digest, AJ has covered a variety of topics from garden and home improvement to cleaning. But his personal favorite would be his article titled "Overrated Gardening Tips That Aren't Worth Your Time," which dispelled common gardening myths. He has been writing about gardening and houseplants for the best part of the past decade. This love for growing things was triggered by his travels, which took him to some fascinating parts of the world. He worked as a software engineer and web developer in different countries in Asia. Along the way, and thanks to lovely encounters with quite interesting characters, he picked up new passions such as DIY, cooking, yoga, design, art, and home improvement. He loves to write about them all, along with travel, cuisines, secret cooking recipes, and life hacks.

Education

AJ has a bachelor's degree in English and literature from Coastal Carolina University, a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Canterbury, and a Sun certification as a Java programmer.
