About Shimul Sood

Shimul studied pyschology as her major but never looked back at her degree once she graduated. She began her journey in college as a social media intern and eventually became a social media manager for publications like iGeeksBlog, Guiding Tech, and MySmartPrice, along with popular tech influencers like Rajiv Makhni.

For the initial years of her career, she focused primarily on social media until she joined MySmartPrice, where she stepped into the world of consumer tech writing. That's where her love for writing really took off, especially when it comes to the Apple ecosystem, Android smartphones, and finding clever tips and tricks that make everyday life easier.

When she's not reading or writing, you'll probably find her cooking and making sure everyone tries her delicious food.
