Hi, I'm Ryan Hackney

I'm an Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate from The Ohio State University with a Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. I'm pursuing entry-level IT support and help desk roles, building on my engineering education and hands-on technical projects.

My immediate goal is to grow in IT support, with a longer-term interest in SOC analysis and cybersecurity. I'm also open to electrical and computer engineering opportunities.

My projects include a Windows desktop tool for detecting commercial breaks in live sports, a cloud security monitoring system, and embedded and hardware/software integration work. They reflect the kind of methodical troubleshooting I enjoy: understanding how systems behave, isolating problems, and refining a practical solution.

Outside of technology, you'll find me working on my farm raising goats, chickens, and bees (that's where the honey comes from!), building high-performance cars (full bolt-on BMW 335i and a Camaro project), or playing guitar with my German Shepherd by my side.

I started this site to showcase my technical projects and sell products from my farm. Everything in the shop is handmade and the honey is locally sourced. The blog shares the process and lessons behind projects ranging from engineering builds to security and desktop automation.
