About Amanda Farmer

I started writing about enterprise technology as the shift to cloud architecture began in earnest. My early media relations and marketing work focused on data center tech, but it wasn’t long before I was covering topics across the full spectrum of IT — from networking and cybersecurity to hardware, edtech, IoT and AI.

Along the way, I had the privilege of being part of landmark moments in emerging tech: from helping introduce the world to the concept of ransomware; to building the case for VDI long before remote work became the norm; and even exploring concepts like post-quantum encryption years before anyone knew how we’d actually tackle them. Over time, I developed a strong foundation of tech knowledge under the guidance of innovative executives and thought leaders at Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, Intel, SonicWall, Secureworks and a variety of startups and IaaS providers.

Today, I spend my time studying the emerging technologies and policies shaping our future, from quantum to CRISPR, LLMs and the evolving cybersecurity landscape.

I don’t pretend to know it all. But whether you need someone to develop content that fits the news cycle or pressure-test a thought leadership narrative, I bring curiosity, fluency and a deep respect for accuracy to every project.
