Xavier Harding

Xavier Harding is bilingual, able to translate tech-gibberish into plain English. His favorite stories to write are those that turn elaborate abstractions into relatable scenarios that help people understand the effects of technology on their lives. He left The Markup in March 2020.

His work has appeared in Mic, Popular Science and IBT Media/Newsweek, among others, and he won two Webby Awards for a story on the shortcomings of cameras in properly lighting dark-skinned actors.
