Giancarlo is a freelancer writer based out of California. He began his writing career as a GamesBeat intern in 2012, but he quickly ascended to the rank of contributor after he wooed the staff with his bright smile and his inability to leave the office at a reasonable time. Like everyone else working for the site, he’s proud to follow VentureBeat’s rigorous ethics statement.
