Jordan is the streaming platforms editor at Tech Junctions. They cover the OS layer of the modern TV: Roku, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple tvOS, Samsung Tizen, and LG webOS — plus the streaming sticks and dongles that bring those platforms to TVs that don't already run them. Jordan came to consumer tech from app journalism — nine years of reviewing apps and SDKs across iOS, Android, and the smart-TV platforms that quietly run their own app stores. Their day-to-day testing rig includes a working install of every major platform on either a smart TV, a stick, or a dongle, so platform comparisons are grounded in current builds and not last year's screenshots. Jordan is the Tech Junctions byline most likely to appear on a Roku-vs-Google-TV comparison or an Apple TV 4K review. They live in the US Northeast.
