Hi, I'm Roy, I created Davis Tech Media to help people level up their digital skills. The previous iterations of this site had humble beginnings. The very first site was started when I was in college to blog about my interests and other fun stuff on the Internet. From there, the site turned into a portfolio site and eventually turned into the collection of professional and enthusiast interests you see now.
