About Digital Citizen
What does Digital Citizen mean?
Depending on who you ask and where you look, the term digital citizen refers to a person who uses the internet regularly and effectively to engage in society, politics, or the government. Other definitions say that a digital citizen is the self-enactment of a person’s role in society through the use of digital technologies like websites, social networks, e-mail, e-commerce, online journalism, etc.

The team
We’re a small independent team based in Romania comprised of just four people:
- Ciprian Adrian Rusen - co-founder and chief editor of Digital Citizen. He published several books about Microsoft products and technologies and was recognized as Windows Insider MVP from 2014 to 2023.
- Codruț Neagu - a versatile senior editor writing articles on various topics, from product reviews about smartphones, laptops, and computer hardware to in-depth tutorials about Windows, Android, and iOS.
- Diana Ann Roe - while she may be a bit reserved in the way she presents herself online, her editorial expertise shines through in her content, primarily focusing on iPhone and occasionally covering Windows. As part of our bilingual team, Diana is crucial in ensuring our content is accessible to both English and Romanian readers by handling most of our translation work.
- Adrian Rafail - a talented web designer and developer. He manages the WordPress platform that powers our websites, continuously fine-tuning their performance and appearance. Adrian is dedicated to enhancing the user experience, ensuring our sites are both functional and visually appealing.
Even though we have known each other for over two decades, we have different personalities and skill sets. This is evident in the way we write, how we work, and the subjects we approach. We like it when people appreciate our work and send us a thank you note. So go ahead, it will make our day! We also take feedback seriously, so if there’s something that we could improve on, don’t hesitate to let us know. You can do that by commenting on our articles or sending a message through our Contact page.🙂
