Hi, I'm Denis Gallagher. You might know me from such things as gadgets, phones (landline and mobile), cameras and home entertainment gear. While I've produced tests for ceiling fans, gas heaters, vacuum cleaners and BBQs, these days the digital home is where the heart is. Before CHOICE, I learned how to break technically complex subjects down to understandable and entertaining chunks. I hate seeing companies take advantage of consumers and at CHOICE I get to fight back on your behalf. Life before CHOICE included being assistant editor for Your Computer magazine in the mid 1990s and later editor of a design magazine called PIXELmag. I also contributed photography and tech articles to SMH, PC World, PC Authority, and Green Guide. After indulging my passion for golf as assistant editor at Golf Australia for a couple of years, I thought it might be time to get a real job. Arriving at CHOICE just before Christmas 2006, everyone was on annual leave so I basically sat alone at my desk till mid-January 2007. I've been pretty busy since then, though! You can find me on LinkedIn.

I've worked for CHOICE for roughly 20 years, from customer service to testing and content production and now to Director of Reviews and Testing, which conducts all the testing content for CHOICE. My background in IT started my path in testing for CHOICE Computer, but CHOICE has a strong call for me because of two core elements - it's a for-purpose business that is mission driven. That mission attracts a range of passionate people, including our staff and members alike, dedicated to making Australia more fair, safe and just for Australian consumers.  My educational background is in Ethics and I currently sit as a council member on the Standards Australia Council, representing CHOICE. I'm also one of the people that add up the energy and carbon credits to make sure we stay carbon neutral. You can find me on LinkedIn.

I am the test coordinator in the computer lab. I joined CHOICE in 2015 because I wanted the opportunity to test products in a rigorous fashion, to highlight the good and the bad for the benefit of the consumer.  In the CHOICE computer lab, I test everything from established technology such as laptops, right up to the latest smart home innovations.  Prior to CHOICE, I spent 17 years working for Australian PC World, testing and writing about PCs, PC components, and other related consumer and small business gear. Over the years I've tested almost everything in the PC realm, from 56K modems to network printers, as well as more mainstream consumer gear such as media players and PVRs. Those days are long gone. Now it's all about the smart home and interconnected devices. LinkedIn
