Adrian Reyes

Adrian Reyes is the Editor-in-Chief at DevicePrep, where he leads the editorial strategy behind the site’s troubleshooting guides and pre-call diagnostic workflows. He focuses on a simple standard: test first, fix second, and always include a way to verify the result.

Adrian was born in San Antonio, Texas, and grew up around a mix of music, computers, and hands-on tinkering. He built his first PC in high school, played in small bands on weekends, and learned early that “the mic works” and “the mic works in this app, on this OS, right now” are two very different claims.

He studied Electrical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, focusing on signal processing and embedded systems. While the coursework was technical, Adrian was always drawn to practical outcomes—how systems behave under real-world constraints, and how to troubleshoot when theory and reality don’t match.

After college, Adrian worked in enterprise IT and AV support roles where video calls were mission-critical. He supported everything from conference-room setups to remote employee onboarding, and he became the go-to person for diagnosing messy, intermittent problems: USB hubs that underpowered webcams, Bluetooth headsets stuck in hands-free mode, or browsers quietly blocked by privacy settings.

Adrian joined DevicePrep to bring that rigor into a people-first editorial system. He sets guide structure, approves updates as OS and meeting apps change, and partners with technical reviewers and engineers to ensure every step matches what users actually see on screen.

His editorial focus is reliability and clarity: calling out the traps that waste the most time (Default device selection, blocked site permissions, Bluetooth profile switching), keeping screenshots and UI labels current, and making sure a guide can be followed quickly when stress is high.

Outside of work, Adrian enjoys cycling, building small audio gadgets, and chasing the perfect cup of coffee with a hand grinder and too much patience. He cares most about one thing: when someone follows a DevicePrep guide, they should feel confident the result is real—not a guess.
