About

I'm Ryan Jones — born in Guyana, raised in Brooklyn from age 9, and now settled in Pennsylvania with my wife. By day I'm a Lead Systems Engineer at a well-known streaming company, with about 16 years in the tech field spanning break/fix, network administration, and Windows & Linux server management.

Photography is one of several hobbies that turned into something more serious. I have a passion for landscape and beauty photography, and I run a small photography business on weekends. I also operate Jones IT Consulting, a managed service provider company.

When I'm not behind a camera I'm programming, tinkering with sensors and home automation, or deep in my home lab — which is the genesis of this blog. A recent hobby has been Amateur Radio; you can find me on air as KC3URO. Feel free to say hi if you hear me on DMR or the Local Repeater.

I still play video games — flight simulators, shooters, and real-time strategy are my go-tos. And when I'm not with family, I'm almost certainly tinkering in the home lab.
