Penn Sharp is the editor-in-chief of thetechpencil. He studied at Amherst College, where close reading, argument, and writing sit at the center of the academic culture.
His work follows the overlap between technology, politics, money, media, and institutional power: how decisions made inside companies, governments, courts, markets, and platforms move through ordinary life.
He founded thetechpencil to cover those systems together instead of pretending they belong in separate sections. His focus is connective tissue: who gains power, who loses leverage, what changed structurally, and what evidence supports the claim.
