Mike Perry — Hardware researcher since 2014. For retro flash carts, cartridges and console games, synthesises manufacturer documentation (e.g. Krikzz for EverDrive), community compatibility lists and user reports rather than first-hand lab testing. Core beat: GPU performance across gaming, rendering, and local-LLM inference.
