Sahas Katta Founder / CEO

Sometime in 2004 I found myself addicted to the internet. After a few spending some of my early days scrapping HTML pages together, I soon began creating a website, sahaskatta.com. Soon enough, I caught onto the emerging Blogging trend, so I launched Skatter Tech. Playing with gadgets was one of my hobbies, reviewing them is now my job. Skatter Tech has been fortunate to see an impressive amount of growth and hopefully that trend is here to stay. Setting web-life aside, I’m from the Bay Area and I’m now an undergraduate student at the University Of California Davis majoring in Computer Engineering. I’ve also spent a few months working at TiVo, the makers of the popular TV set box DVR. More recently, I spent a few months at Six Apart, the makers of TypePad, Movable Type, and the platform behind BarackObama.com. I always keep an eye out for emerging, innovative, and unique technologies for both entertainment and business opportunities. If you would like a copy of my Resume, feel free to email me. Otherwise, please visit my personal blog (sahaskatta.com) to follow me.

Since I was a child, I’ve been captivated and always wanted to learn more about current and emerging technologies. At the moment, I’m an undergraduate student at the University of California Davis majoring in Computer Engineering. I have been working at Skatter Tech since the early days and have seen the site grow immensely during that time. I hope to continue to help expand Skatter Tech and help those looking for tech resources. If you need to reach me, feel free to shoot me an email.

Sanketh Katta Tech Writer + Advisor

I’m a student at UC Berkeley working toward a degree in Operations Research and Management Science. I grew up in a house filled with tech gadgets, I can’t remember a time without having a computer near me. I am proud to be part of this generation defined by the internet culture and social networking. Since I was in grade school, I would love to download, install, and test various Linux distributions. I was and still am amazed by how much free software can do. As a result I love to learn about the workings of advertising and open source business models. Unlike older and traditional corporations, many start up companies have turned to using these models and have been truly successful. Aside from my technology and business interests, I am a very outdoorsy guy who likes to run, bike, swim, and especially ski.

Andrew Fong Hardware + Audio Expert

I’m currently an electrical engineering student at the University of California Davis. Although an EE major, I’m is contemplating going into law school after my undergrad and working with technical patents. I enjoy exploring the inner mechanical and electrical components of various devices as well as tuning them for better performance. Some of my various hobbies include cars, airsoft, baseball, and technology. I also believe even the worst food can taste decent, with the aid of Bull’s-Eye BBQ sauce.

Dominic Raad Writer

Currently attending UC Davis with the focus of obtaining a degree in Chemical Engineering, I am interested in the line where Science and Engineering meets. I believe technology is an outlet for creativity and innovation, reflecting on the advancements and aesthetic appreciation each generation has. I’ve got a big appreciation for the technology used in entertainment today, and love seeing the world around me become more and more like a good Science Fiction movie. I’m a laid back individual who enjoys going out with friends, or kicking back with a good video game and a bad movie.

Akshay Aanabathula Writer

When I first started college, I was trying to do everything. I was a Pre-Med/Dental student majoring in Chemistry and Economics. Later, I changed my major to Electrical Engineering, which I stuck with for a while. I recently have discovered what my career passions are: Technology, Law Enforcement, and Security. Ideally, if I could become the next Robo-Cop, that would be amazing. But alas, reality dictates that it isn’t possible… yet. Aside from graduating with a degree in Psychology, I plan to become a police officer. In addition, I have plans on obtaining a JD, MBA, and PhD. Currently, aside from trying to get more involved in Skatter Tech, I work as an intern for the Sacramento Police Department. My hobbies include watching awesome movies and funny television shows, listening to great music, paint-balling, snowboarding, and playing some good video games.

Technology is most definitely my bag. I’ve been making websites since I was just out of elementary school. My co-workers joke that I can make their broken computer work again just by staring at it. I’m working on a bachelor’s degree in computer science engineering at the University of California, Davis to further develop my life long hobby and turn it into a career.

Alex Harvey-Gurr Content Editor

I’m an English major with an emphasis in Creative Writing at UC Davis. Writing has been a passion of mine for many years, and my dream is to write that every allusive “great American novel.” Like most members of my generation, I spend more time than I should on the Internet instead of writing those papers that English professors love assigning so much. I believe that the literary field’s future lies with the Internet and technology; aspiring authors are already getting their careers jump started through blogging and products like the Kindle are reinventing the book market. When I’m not reading or writing, I’m listening to music, going on adventures with friends, or kicking back to watch bad horror and Sci Fi movies (with the occasional romantic comedy thrown into the mix, of course).
