Technical Content Strategist at Gamepad Tester

Turns measurements like circularity error into something a player can read once and understand.

Fiona writes the technical guides. Controller diagnostics carry a lot of vocabulary that means nothing to the person holding the pad, from circularity error and polling rate to deadzone tolerance, and a reading nobody can interpret is not a diagnosis. Her work is explaining those concepts in plain language, in the order a player actually needs them, without softening the numbers into vagueness.

On Gamepad Tester she edits the guides and the Q&A answers for clarity before they are published.
