About Amy

My background, from my family’s influence to my Engineering degree to my personal hobbies, has always involved computers and the latest tech gadgets. Though some of my computer knowledge comes from formal training and education, a lot of it I’ve learned on my own.

I enjoy being a resource for friends and family when they have tech questions. Building on that, I decided to create German Pearls, a place people could come to find answers to their questions…or ask new ones!

What does “German Pearls” Mean?

With a German ancestry, my vision for German Pearls encompasses what I view as my most stereotypical German traits: being technical, organized, efficient and frugal.

The industry in which I work uses the term “pearls” frequently as a term to mean tips, tricks and bits of advice.

Here on German Pearls I hope to pass on tips, tricks and bits of advice (aka Pearls) about using technology to be more efficient, organized and frugal.
