Myriam Joire

Support my Mobile Tech Podcast and YouTube channel:

Myriam Joire (aka. tnkgrl) was born wearing combat boots and holding a keyboard. Moments later she picked up a soldering iron. She’s been stomping, typing, and hacking ever since.

After spending years being a code-monkey in the video game industry, she joined Engadget as Senior Mobile Editor and later Pebble as Chief Evangelist.

Today, she hosts the Mobile Tech Podcast and writes about technology for Forbes, TechRadar, HotHardware, GeekSpin, Gear Diary, and other major publications. In addition, she advises companies on product and media strategy, and speaks at conferences. She splits her time between San Francisco, CA and Vancouver, BC.

She’s been called a “personality” and a “pundit“, but despite being (in)ternet famous, she’s just a tomboy with a fondness for other queers, punks, nerds, and misbegotten social deviants. You can reach her at tnkgrl@gmail.com and follow her on Twitter (X), Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky at @tnkgrl.
