Meet Daniel Park
Hi, I’m Daniel—a Portland-based IT specialist and hardware reviewer with 20 years of experience testing, evaluating, and recommending computer peripherals for every kind of workspace. I’ve configured thousands of professional setups, from Fortune 500 boardrooms to home offices in studio apartments, and I’ve learned exactly what separates great accessories from gimmicks.
Before founding Computer Accessories Guide, I spent a decade as IT Director at a mid-size technology firm, where I was personally responsible for selecting and deploying peripherals across 500+ workstations. That role taught me the difference between products that look good on spec sheets and products that actually survive 8+ hours of daily professional use.
I hold certifications from CompTIA (A+, Network+) and an MBA from Oregon State University, with a focus on technology management. I understand the engineering behind display panels, mechanical switches, USB protocols, and docking station chipsets—and I use that knowledge to evaluate products beyond their marketing claims.
