IONUT ARGHIRE
Ionut is a technology editor since October 2007. He's always been a computer enthusiast, so putting his writing skills (proven by his university degree) to work on Softpedia's technology category felt natural and allowed him to stay close to one of his hobbies. He also enjoys a good video game (gotta get that latest next-gen title!) and, when looking at a computer screen gets tiresome, a good book is more than welcome.
