When I first walked through the doors at CHOICE, my job was to write about tech for CHOICE Computer magazine. Since then, I've covered everything from home entertainment to personal safety devices, tech for your car and even mattresses. If you want to find the best combination of a bed, 4K TV, soundbar, GPS unit and food delivery app, I'm your guy.  The one thing I've noticed across all the product tests I've organised it's that nothing is simple. Mattresses can be just as complicated as computers, and manufacturers as well as salespeople don't make things easy. They either use complex jargon that you just want to ignore, or they oversimplify things to the point where you don't know what you're paying for. My goal isn't just to help you find the best TV, mattress or soundbar, I also want to cut through the nonsense and help you fully understand the products you're considering. That way, you can make an educated, informed decision when it's time to buy without falling prey to a sly salesperson. Plus, when you understand the product, you know how to set it up in a way that best suits your home and can look after it. Nothing is plug and play anymore, and if a complicated smartphone or Bluetooth speaker feels less intimidating after you've read my content, then I know I've done my job. Outside of work I'm very into gaming, I love watching retro classics at the cinema, I enjoy getting up early to spend hours smoking a tasty cut of meat and I'm deeply into home hi-fi. Any music genre from laidback jazz to the loudest, screamiest, most brutal heavy metal ticks all my boxes. I also had a stint as a live music photographer for a number of years.

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

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!
