Ameel Khan's Bio

I'm a geek, techie, drummer, and amateur photographer. My pronouns are he/him. I live on Woiworung land in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).

I'm not quite an internet old-timer, but I have been on social media since the mid-1990s (dial-up and Usenet!).

I work in the analytics, web, and social media space.

I talk about a lot of random things, but you'll definitely see the photos of my dog :)

I think Franklin Gothic is cooler than Helvetica, so I made a video about why you should use it more often. And since the Franklin Gothic font you get with Windows and Office 365 isn’t particularly good, I recommend a few great free and paid alternatives.

I haven’t used Times New Roman since 2008 but I still see it pop up in the wild every now and again. So I made an explainer video about why you should stop using it and what you should use instead.
