Austin, TX
Adrian Khalid covers technology, AI, and digital transformation from Austin, Texas, where the tech scene hums as loud as a live music venue. A software developer by training, he spent years building backend systems for fintech startups before moving into tech journalism. Adrian’s Edit Hub articles demystify machine learning, software architecture, and cybersecurity in plain English that respects both the curious beginner and the seasoned CTO. He’s an active contributor to open-source projects and frequently speaks at regional developer conferences. Adrian holds a computer science degree from UT Austin and a deep conviction that technology should serve people, not the other way around. When he’s not coding or writing, he’s running the trails around Lady Bird Lake or cooking elaborate Tex-Mex feasts.
