Kevin Cheng

Hi I am Kevin, current Editor-in-Chief and Grand Poobah of DigitalReviews Network. That’s the short version. The longer one involves questionable life choices, tapas, and a lot of whisky.

My relationship with tech began in the glow of a green monochrome monitor, powered by a home-built computer rocking 4KB of RAM and a copy of Pong. Fast forward from there, it spiralled into a three plus decade journey through IT – one that’s seen me shift from pleb to C-suite, with pit stops across aerospace, engineering, comms, storage, DR, EDRMS and more acronyms than any human should tolerate.

I joined DRN back in May 2007 after reviewing a Bluetooth HUD GPS unit from GlobalTop. I’m still not sure why Martin picked me, though my odd taste in driving a Saab might have sealed the deal. That review turned into an invitation, which has now turned into 20 years of reviews, press events, deadlines and for the past five years, building a team and culture, and a site that I am very proud of.

These days, I specialise in identifying pain points (business ones not personal), scoping fit-for-purpose solutions and balancing innovation with something resembling ethics. My professional roots are in aerospace and fluid dynamics, but I am rarely standing still, figuratively or literally.

If you want to say hi, argue about keyboards, or bond over obscure gadgets, I may be found occasionally in my smouldering post-apocalypse account on X (Twitter): @aerokev
