Welcome to Next Big Tech Zone. I’m Rorynell Herndona, the founder, and I’d like to take you behind the scenes and introduce you to the incredible team that makes this platform possible.
We’re not just reporters of innovation—we’re participants in it. Every article, review, trend analysis, and startup spotlight you read here is the result of collaboration among curious, thoughtful, and future-minded individuals who share a love for technology and what it makes possible.
We built this platform with a single idea in mind: to empower people with smart, clear, and honest insight about the technologies shaping tomorrow. It’s not just what we do—it’s who we are.
Why I Started This Platform
My journey through the world of emerging technologies, digital media, and business strategy made one thing clear: people needed a better way to understand tech. There was too much noise, too little substance. I envisioned a space where deep technical analysis could live alongside real-world insights, and where ideas—no matter how early or bold—could be explored with integrity.
That’s how Next Big Tech Zone was born. From the very start, I surrounded myself with people who not only understand technology but also understand people—and how those two intersect. Let me introduce them to you.
Our Editorial Voices
We’re a collective of tech writers, editors, analysts, and storytellers who translate innovation into clarity. When we write software reviews, we go beyond features—we ask how they fit into real workflows. When we highlight startups, we look for the vision behind the code. When we publish opinion pieces, it’s with thought, rigor, and respect for our readers.
Each person on our editorial team brings a different background—former engineers, consultants, journalists, product leads—but what unites us is a commitment to honest, useful, well-researched content.
Our Research & Insights Team
Tech doesn’t stand still, and neither do we. Our insights team tracks what’s emerging, what’s scaling, and what’s changing in the tech world. They analyze funding rounds, follow founder stories, examine market reports, and connect the dots across industries.
Their work helps us go deeper—beyond announcements and buzz—to offer the kind of perspective our readers rely on to make decisions. Every trend report or transformation guide we publish has their fingerprints on it.
Design, UX, and Experience
We care about how you experience our platform. Our design and UX team ensures that every page you visit is clean, clear, and intuitive. They think about the visual journey—how to make complex stories easier to follow, how to present data in digestible ways, how to design with intent.
From mobile responsiveness to accessibility standards, they’re always working behind the scenes to enhance how you interact with our ideas.
Engineering and Technology
I often say: We don’t just cover technology—we use it to build the future of content itself. That’s where our development and engineering team shines. They’ve built the infrastructure that allows us to deliver stable, fast, and scalable content experiences, and they continue to evolve our platform to support new features, smarter systems, and better integration for both contributors and readers.
They also help us experiment—developing internal tools, testing content personalization models, and building analytics systems that support our editorial choices.
Our Contributor Community
Some of our best insights come from outside our walls. Our contributor network is made up of founders, developers, educators, analysts, and experts who bring real-world experience and unique perspectives to the table.
Each contributor we publish has been carefully selected and supported by our team. If you’ve ever read a startup founder’s first-person journey here or a deep dive on blockchain ethics written by a researcher—you’ve seen the strength of our community.
The People Who Keep It All Running
Operations, partnerships, and strategy—these are the folks who keep everything aligned. They manage relationships, organize campaigns, support advertisers, onboard new contributors, and help us expand our reach without losing our identity.
They’re also the voice behind many of our email replies, phone calls, and event logistics. They make sure that what we promise publicly is delivered reliably behind the scenes.
Our Culture and Values
We are a curious bunch. We test ideas constantly. We disagree respectfully. We share the belief that technology, when explored ethically and communicated clearly, can empower everyone. Whether we’re sitting in our Oakland office or connecting remotely across time zones, we uphold a culture that values collaboration, experimentation, and growth.
We’re learners. We’re teachers. And we’re listeners. That’s what drives us every day.
